RH. I love that ols Swede too. Low recoil and whack the deer is dead. I have three of the Military models. One it sporterized with a synthetic stock. The other had the turned down bolt and is drilled and tapped but still has the military stock. The last one is all original military with the bayonette and flash hider and sling. I also had the 700 classic but sold that one to my Brother.

So far no problem with the neck. My right wrist is not very good but I drove a jillion big nails with that one.
