I know its been talked about on here before but I have somewhat of a unique case. My right eye is 20/200 so basically useless for shooting. No way can I see anything down range through that eye.
I have no issues shooting a bow left handed, I learned to draw with my LH, shooting a pistol is not an issue, my left eye is SO dominate I can hold with either hand and shoot.
Now I want a nice bolt rifle, and will shoot mostly from a bench or bipod with this gun. I have read both, get a Left gun (is available in Savage 10 FLCP-K) and shoot left, and use your dominant hand to run the bolt, keeping shooting hand on trigger guard. (not trigger)
Right now here is what the pros and cons are getting a LH bolt.
Pros
Bolt and Trigger on opposite side of the face in case of blow up
Much easier to get second shot if hand holding.
Faster cycling when you train your LH (like I did with a bow)
Friends wont want to borrow.
Cons
Harder to buy guns
Harder to sell guns
May never be as quick as you are with the dominant hand
I do not want to mix and match LH and RH models so if I go LH will buy future guns that way too.
Looking for advice, and experience, remember shooting using my Right Eye is not an option.
