I am also left handed and started out with a 760 in .308 and a 7600 in .30-06, just switched the safeties to left handed. Recently I got my first left handed bolt action gun. A Tikka Whitetail Hunter in .308. When I show my friends they all say the same thing " The bolt is on the wrong side, I tell them it' s on the correct side!. I wouldn' t trade it for the world.
