As a lefty, I can attest to the challenges of using a RH rifle. But with practice using one becomes second nature. But LH versions are much nicer. And my suggestion goes along with the earlier post. Soon or later if both hunt you will need to buy them each a rifle anyway. So why not save up and give each one their own rifle. Just don't go too cheap and get something like a Savage Axis or Rem 770 or other 'el cheapo' model. And let them pick out what they want (within your budget). That way they will like it an feel more confident and prouder with it.
