[QUOTE="morpheus32, post: 384680, member: 7086"] If I may add to one of the other previous posts. I am right handed, left eye dominate. I have a couple of precision rifles that I shout regularly. I use a simple principle to determine what action L or R that I will use. If the rifle might be used off hand, say for hunting and is light weight...I use a left hand action. If the rifle is a true long range gun that I will be shooting either prone or support, I use a right handed action. I can cycle the action while maintaining my check weld. So for hunting I have the following: LH Ruger Hawkeye in 375 Ruger LH Weatherby Mk V in 300 Wby Mag LH Weatherby Ultralight in 257 Wby For long range precision I have: RH LTR with AICS stock RH AI AWM in 338 Lapua Mag I find this is the right balance and works well for me. The heavier the rifle, the more likely I will use a right hand action...the lighter and more likely to be shot offhand...then left hand action.... I hope this helps a bit... [/QUOTE]
