please fill me in, I'm in the same boat, but I haven't bought a southpaw, yet! I'm a little afraid to at this late date!

It takes some getting used to for sure. At first I wasn't so sure but after a couple hours cycling the bolt and a couple more hours at the range, it started to feel comfortable. Being a lefty, I think, makes us more adaptable since everything is made for a righty so I'm sure you'll be able to get used to it. Biggest drawback as I'm sure you already know is the selection of LH rifles available. Not a concern if you love wood and blue. Another drawback for me is my son is right handed so when I pass my guns on to him, he'll have some backward bolts. Thats the reason I'm undecided if my next gun should be a lefty or not.

This is true but you still have empty casings flying across your face.
