Default RE: Problems finding lefthand rifle - XCR

I am left eye dominant but right handed. iuse to shoot right handed actions,but once I tried my first Lh bolt I can not go back it just fits/feels better. I fail to see how it wouldcan bebetter/easier to reach over your scope to work the bolt, while tucking the rifle with your grip/trigger hand to cycle the bolt and trying to maintain sight picture off hand. My partner does thisbutfor me itisn't as natural as working the bolt as it was designed. Also in regards to the Mod 700 the safety positioningon the rt side isn't ideal IMHO.

If your looking for a syth./ss rem 700 production rifle you'll just have to wait for the XCR's to become available. However if not opposed to wood and blued barrels you have other choicesin LH actions withthe BDL and CDL 700 models.
