I'm left handed, and as a kid, my father encouraged me to use bolt action rifles. Now, fast foreward to my 20's, and i was STILL wrestleing with being left handed and owning right handed bolt action rifles.. (no LH bolt guns those days!!) FINALLY, one day i decided to get "a" LH bolt gun "just to try", and i did!! I bought a Rem. LH 700 BDL in 7 mag. , and after shooting more than 40 boxes of ammo through it, i was hooked!!!

I had over 45 RH bolt guns at "that" time, and i started selling them, replaceing them with what i REALLY wanted in LH.. Building EXACTLY what i wanted, instead of liveing with what was available...

Now, fast foreward again to the day i managed to see a dream for me to come true!!!! I was about to buy my first drilling!!! It took me a loooooong time to realize, that i'd rather have one or two really fine guns, than a closet full of "just guns".

"If" i could go back, i'd work on getting "better quality" rather than quanity, at a eariler age.... I'd spend all the money i saved by doing so, on hunting trips, and ammo to shoot them more!!!
