I'm left-handed and left-eye dominant. I started out hunting with a RH bolt just because LH rifles were not to plentiful on the used market and my dad couldn't afford a new one for me. Getting used to the bolt is not hard, but remember the cheekpiece will also be on the wrong side and sometimes the safety may be hard to get to. Now I use a single-shot T/C Encore rifle and an O/U shotgun.
