    Same reason why a right handed person doesn't just use a left handed rifle. Its different. I can use both but a l/h drive is nicer to use

    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    My first rifle was a Ruger M77 270 RH. Mistake. Noisy. Heavy. Wrong hand. Recoiled more than I cared for.
    Sold that. Got a Ruger 308 (the black paddle stocked one). Mistake. Easier to shoot. Handle on the wrong side.
    Before 2000 there was fuck all rifle in LH other than absolute bottom tier crap. I bought my R93 Blaser out of shear frustration. Honestly, I think rifle manufacturers had been taking the piss outta lefties since forever. I’d never go back.
    Shearer and GettingThere like this.

    Everything I own is left handed except a Toz single shot. 22lr and a Browning 1885 22-250. As @kiwijames says, I would never go back.
    Experience. What you get just after you needed it.
