  1. Continuing on another post of mine about us lefties... I've never had such a pool of left handed shooters as what I've found here, nor have I heard so much about left handed rifles. I own two bolt guns, an old Remington model 512 22lr that I've owned since I was nine years old (I'm 40 now). It's the gun I learned to shoot with. I also own a Winchester Model 70(pre 1964 bolt design) in 243 Win.(worth a thousand Remington 700's). Both are standard "right hand" rifles. I shoot them left handed unless I'm working on my weak hand technique. Using the word "technique" is being generous. I've tried using left hand bolt guns and find them to be singularly monstrous with no redeeming quality to my left hand. I cannot use them quickly at all, nothing is where it should be. All of my AR15's are also standard right hand models. I've shot some left hand AR's and find them to be equally horrible. I'm interested in hearing from all the other lefties out there; Are left hand guns easier for you to shoot and operate? Are there others like me who just can't master them? I'm interested in hearing what advantages you've found in the lefty guns. For years now I've thought that I must be missing something and that if I could "get it" I would become a better all around shooter by using the lefty rifle.
