The .52 cal is too specialized though. You pretty much have to shoot sabots.
Muley, the straight Knight DISC stock is built to be righty/lefty. That is why they moved away DISC Original stock. Doesn't help you with the action, but it was specifically built to work with both shooters.

I know everybody laughs at the 52 cal but I have one and it would be one of the guns that I would hang on to. The main reason is the 1-26 twist - accuracy is outstanding - especially at long ranges. This twist and the 1-24 twist in my White are worth a bunch to me with the bullets that I shoot.

There is not much in North America that you could not hunt with a 52, probably a bit over gunned for white tail - but for some of those larger Muley buck... the 52 could be worth it.

As someone has already suggested there are a couple of people that build conicals for them... Here in Idaho I am forced to shoot non-209 guns, no scopes, and lead conicals during ML season... The Bull Shop 460 grain frieght train is my bullet of choice for both deer and Elk... plus the cost of them does not break the bank.

Hope you find something that works for you...
