    Interesting thread. Left-handed here too. I use VZ33 mauser actions on the hunting rifles (bolt right side) but the stocks are all set up for left-handed use. For me there are two issues with this setup: reduced protection in a case failure situation, and needing to break position between shots when working the bolt. Other than that I quite like having the open side of the action facing me in a rifle for stalking. It provides constant visibility of the bolt position and where a partially-chambered round is. There are also right-handed M70 3-position side swing safeties on all of them, and these are probably more convenient for a leftie to use (with the thumb) than if they were on the RHS.
    The Barnard here is left-handed action though for the reasons above.
