Did for years and years... then I saved up some serious cash and bought two Browning Stainless Stalkers, both left handed bolts and haven't looked back since. Best story ever was my old 760, 30/06...during rapid not paying attention fire, some of the ejected cases would go down my coller or inside my hood, about 1/4 of a second after being fire, now that will get you attention in a hurry.. that bolt in front of your teeth always worried me, especially from 7mm mag and up...got some nice fat lips from my 8mm Mag back many moons ago..even though they aren't making ever model, most are making something these days.. you'll be able to find something somewhere..it's not perfect but it's better today than ever before in my opinion...
