Default Any lefty's shooting right handed bolts???

Anyone who frequents this forum has probably seen my COUNTLESS posts about picking "the" rifle and caliber for my next purchase......

While the fact that there's no "perfect" rifle is starting to sink in, I keep finding some that I really like.....but their all right handed bolts and not offered in a left handed model.

The Kimber Montana. Kimber 8400. Browning X-Bolt. Weatherby Mark V Ultra-light (not offered in a caliber that I would have any use for)......The list goes on and on....

I know there are a number of folks who love hunting with single shot rifles. The Ruger #1's and T/C Pro Hunters are getting more and more popular.

So.......I figure I can cycle a right handed bolt gun faster than reloading a single shot...so would I really be at a dissadvantage????

I'm curious if any other hunters out there have run into the same frustrations as I have with finding rifles you REALLY like, but them not being available in a left handed version.

What did you guys do? Buy the right hander and make do or hold out and find a left handed version that fit what you wanted?????
