Left bolt / Right port for right handed shooter

[DMack]

Anyone ever try this? I have been wondering if it would be easier to manipulate while keeping your head on the rifle and maintaining a shooting grip with your right hand.
Light recoiling rifle in a chassis, thinking 6 Creed or similar.

Lemme know what you think....

Be interesting to see you try and how you like it. Maybe shoot a left-handed gun awhile and see how the bolt stroke feels to you.

I think I'd prefer the right bolt/left port version because if you have to pull you left arm back far enough to finish the bolt stroke, you've lost position anyway. As a right-handed bolt gunner for a long time, I'm used to operating the bolt right-handed without lifting my head or moving my shoulder anyway.

I do that with my benchrest rifle. It also ejects the fired case out the right side.
If you're not going to have a repeater then a left port on a right bolt action is a good way to go.
