Re: Lefty shooting RH guns
I'm a lefty shooting on a right handed gun and I'm left eye dominant. I have a Rem 700 AAC-SD in an AICS 2.0 chassis. What I like is how quickly I can manipulate the bolt with my right hand while keeping my left hand trigger finger close to the trigger for faster shots. This is great when I can use the monopod and not have to adjust it up and down like I do with rear bags. On the flip side, what I don't like is having to always move my right hand from stabilizing the rear of the gun on bags thus moving the reticle if I am on a softer surface.
I shoot bench and prone only so the only problem I listed isn't too big of a deal. But if I were to do a competition or hunt there is not way I would feel comfortable shooting right handed. I've tried it and its just awkward. I would absolutely have to have a lefty gun because manipulating the bolt on a right handed gun while I'm shooting it lefty style is not even possible for me.
