I don't notice it either. Sometimes, I'll tip the 30-30 a little towards its side when ejecting, then tip it back straight to chamber another round. No biggie...

I have always shot lefty. I can't hit the broadside of a barn righty. Even with an eye patch on my left eye. I remember USCG bootcamp many years ago, trying to qualify with the M-16. I failed righty. After being called every name in the book by the range instructors, I carefully explained that I am left eye dominant and a lefty. I recall there were very few of us 100% lefty shooters in the USCG. I remember them having some weird aluminum shroud thing that they made that would snap on the M-16, so the ejecting shells wouldn't biff you if had toshoot lefty. As soon as they did that... BAM! I qualified easily. [8D]

My next rifle is going to be a lefty bolt action in a .270 caliber. I will keep the Marlin 30-30 with the open sights, 'cause I find I like it better that way and always hunt in the heavy thick brush with it. It likes the 170 grain rounds and at 50 yards, open sights, I can get amazing groups!
