How many of you fellow lefties thought it was the most awkward thing in the world the first time you loaded a left handed rifle?
And after six years of using it, I
still have to watch how I load the blind magazine in my LH
.22-250 Savage VLP. Should have waited 'til they changed to
the clip mag.
After 40+ years of shooting RH bolts, the LH just wasn't all
that great to me...just too many years of being accustomed to
shooting a "righty" the wrong way. Not only can I cycle a bolt
faster than a RH person at the bench, I can do it just about
as fast as a righty in the field....taking finger out of the
trigger guard, resting top of cheek area of stock under
forearm (for leverage countering weight of barrel), then
cycling with the right hand. Yes, sight of target is lost,
but I do believe in one shot-one kill.
On the other hand, the VLP is NOT for sale!
