Recently a good friend suggestion using a left handed bolt action rifle for distance shooting. He stated some of the military snipers are going that way, when shooting from a bag. It seems to make a lot of sense. your rt hand never leaves the waist of the stock/trigger group. Your cheek does not have to leave "spot weld" (comb of the stock) so you can watch as you feed your firearm.

Has any one tried it. I am thinking of building a lefty for me.

Thanks, Hollis
Never heard of it.

Sounds like a wannabe thinking to me.
