i am left handed and shoot a right handed bolt. just like you said pricier and harder to find. i also shoot a .270. It really isnt a big deal you just know you have to hit that first shot. i take my left hand put it across the gun and work the bolt while still maintaining aiming in the area of the target, since i will tend to lose sight on target a lot practicing looking at something then being able to pull up the scope right on it is good practice, all in all its not that inconvenient. you will still be able to shoot accurate
