soilarch, I'm leftie and so was my friend. He used right handed bolts exclusively. I've used them occasionally. I've never really found cycling a RH bolt that much of a problem. I simply held the forearm in my right hand, reached over the stock with my left, cycled the action and reshouldered. Time wise, it was too much slower than cycling my LH bolts. You can be proficient with a little practice. If you practice shooting enough and be patient with your shots, you shouldn't need that second or third shot anyway.
