Hey All!
I'm looking to get into precision rifles. This will be my first toe-dip into this specific pond as it were. I've shot shotguns, semi-auto rifles and pistols for years for fun, hunting and some competitions. I am a LEFTY, and while I am STILL on an epic quest to find the best lefty semi-auto rifle that doesn't piss gas in my face, I'm not sure it's a big concern with bolts guns. I've always used right handed shotguns for duck and never really had issues.
So my real question is this, for the guys that shoot precision rifle (competition, long range, practically, tactically, and hunting) are there scenarios that will cause me problems or will there be things I won't be able to do as effectively if I use a right handed gun? Basically meaning, if I run the bolt with my support hand.
Thanks ahead of time for any advice you have,
Jon
