I am also a lefty. I have both a left and a right handed model 700. I dont have a problem with the action but one problem I do have with the right handed stock is eye allignment with the scope. When I throw it up for a fast shot, it is not in good allignment like the left handed gun. They are I dentical guns so I beleive it is the style of stock ( monte carlo I think) that puts me out of allignment. Just something to thing about when you are shouldering some rifles.
