Stocks are not a problem, there are a fair number to be had in left hand. I recently bought a Choate Tacitcal off the rack left handed.
I find the grip/cheek weld kind of a moot point. In competition I need my left hand to mark score and plot with anyway. If you were shooting multiple shots out of a magazine in a timed relay it would probably be a plus.
One other thing to think about is safety. Most, if not all actions ( bolt actions anyway) are designed to port exess gases away from the shooters face. If you are shooting a right handed rifle as a lefty and something goes awry you could end up with a face full of ca ca. Yes, you may anyway, and yes we should all wear eye protection all the time but I for one don't
, especially hunting. Shooting a correct handed rifle may help if something does go off the rails.
