i`m left eyed dominant n right handed,so i have always shot lefthanded.i too grew up shooting right hand boltactions,and shotguns.starting shooting skeet with 870 pump n graduated to a 1100 all rh.ive hunting with a double since iwas 18 so double triggers and top safeties arent a problem.when i did get a couple lefthanded bolt action rifles it was like putting my shoes on the wrong feet!i still shoot both right n lefthanded rifles but like dave said cheekpieces on rhthanded gun just adds weight !
