Left Handed shooters club!

30 year old Mark V 300WM left-hand. Had the barrel replaced and the bluing and stock redone about 5 or 6 years ago.

My wife, grandma of nine, shoots a 375 Ruger in a Ruger Alaskan 20" stainless with laminate, shortened stock. The picture below was taken just after firing. The Nikon Inline has 5" eye-relief which helps to keep the scope and eyebrows far apart. Proper holding is essential, of course. It is a nice small package for her African rifle.

Also a lefty making use of right handed rifles and I've never picked up a left handed rifle, we grew up with right handed rifles and now it's muscle memory, I'd have to practice allot before I take a left handed rifle to the bush...
 
My good friends, real lefties can switch hands and gain a stroke! while I shoot left handed, I
-Write right handed
-Throw Left handed
-Kick right footed
-Shoot a bow right or left handed
-Golf and or Cricket (bat/swing/stroke) left or right handed.
-Play pool right handed.
-Kite goofy footed.
;-) a mixed bag I’d say!
:E Hmmm:ok so you can think of one other with your affliction.........:E Head Scratch:...........shouldnt take long to check this thread out in the future .........:A Stirring: :E Devious: :K Moon:..................................ahhh revenge is sweet :E Big Grin:
 
Winchester 70 Classic, several Remington 700’s, a Borden, a Tikka, a Zermatt Bighorn Origin, a couple Ruger’s, and a Savage. Please consider that as my application to the club.
 
Glad to know I’m not alone.

I’m right handed, right eye dominant, but do many things left handed and footed…

Shooting rifles and shotguns are one of them. I shoot pool left handed… Rode a skateboard goofy footed…
I shoot pistols right hand.

I am sure glad someone decided to do a Left Handed Rifle forum. Does anyone know of someone that has a LH Dakota 300 Cal for sale?
 
My lefties:
Texas Magnum In 7x61S&H
Ruger Alaskan in 375 RSM
Looking for more at "reasonable" prices.
 
My left handed rifles are a Remington 700 in .270 Win., Browning XBolt in .300 Win Mag and I just was able to purchase a Winchester M70 Safari Classic .375 H&H with the Pre64 action. I am getting the optics delivered soon for the .375 and am looking forward to getting it dialed in. P
 
My grandfather taught me to shoot both eyes open, so I always have and am definitely left handed!

For years I shot right handed bolts and used my right hand brought back to reload. I know Jaco and I have discussed this. But there is nothing like the left hand bolt oncertainly you shoot one.

Now I need a left hand light rifle. I do think the next one is going to be T3 lite, or perhaps a Browning X-Bolt. I haven't quite decided. T3 is slightly lighter, but I'm not a great big fan of the stainless or the plastic..... If I was going to hunt in Alaska all the time that would be one thing, but I'm not.
I have 2 LH X-bolts, a 300 Win Mag Medallion and a 270 Hunter. Love them both, and I've shot a 1 1/8 inch group at 200 yards with the 300 and over the counter ammo.
I also have a 375 H&H A-bolt.

Right handed, but knew about eye dominance when I started shooting about 10 y.o. so I never learned to shoot right handed. Because of this I usually shoot pumps, break action, or lever actions
