Default RE: left handed guns

I figured it would be worth it for a bolt action to get the left handed version.
I completely agree, I myself only use LH CF bolts for hunting.

If it fits ok (stock with nocheek piece or very minimal) and allows you to reach the safety without taking your eye of the target a right bolt will work. Cycling the bolt without losing site picture becomes the only problem area, but I have seen some southpaws who have adapted very well(my hunting partner is one but he never tried a LH action before we hookedup...now his tune is slightly different).

It really boils down to each individual what is the best solution.

Good Luck
