Have you given any thought to shooting a Right handed rifle, left handed. Might SOUND funny, but thing about it. When you are in the prone, or shooting off a bench, you have your left hand on the stock and trigger, the bolt is on the right side, you use your non firing hand to cycle the bolt quickly. Ok, not a big deal when shooting on the range, but can be especially important on a hunt if there is a need for a quick follow up shot. I am a dominant left handed shooter and much prefer a right handed bolt action. I still shoot right handed and have found it to be odd, to take my hand off the stock to cycle the bolt. Just my $.02 Good Luck.
