Any others out there? Just curious what you guys do when it comes to the actions. My dad, although he' s a right-handed guy, has a dominant left eye, and so always shot left-handed (with a righty action). So when I came onto the hunting scene, there was no way he was going to go out of his way to get me a lefty action. I grew up with a .243 in a right-handed action, and then my current right-handed .270.

However, a month or so ago, when I was out looking at guns, the guy behind the counter saw me holding one of the rifles lefty and asked if I wanted to see a left-handed gun. I realized there was no way I was going to switch at this point in my life -- I have a strange bolt-working motion that I' ve developed over the years, and I' m sticking with it, rather than retrain myself. I don' t use my left (trigger) hand for the bolt at all -- instead, I bring my right (stock-holding) hand back, work the bolt, and go back to shooting; all while holding the gun steady with the back hand.

Anybody else learn to work a bolt wrong?
