Back40,

I started out with a pump, went to RH bolts and now will never own anything but a LH bolt. It is not the bolt cycle but rather the feel of the stock when butted into my shoulder/cheek and the safety placement on some models are my main reasons for wanting to only use a lh action. Having said that I know a few lefty's who use and like their RH bolts. The desicion is really only yours to make.

Rem 700, Win Mod 70, Ruger, Browning, Savage and Tikka whitetail hunter all make a lh action bolts. Have you looked at the Browning Abolt SS Stalker, it has what you want and is offered in a LH version(I own one in a 270 and it has been a great rifle).
