it's just a matter of adapting - most lefties have little /no trouble using a semi, lever or pump- i'm left handed and i was trained on the m14-no deflectors needed - as for the t-97, there's fellas on here that use them left handed and one guy that has a mod for that or werkeing on it- as for the bolt, if you place the butt in your left shoulder and hold the forearm with the right hand,, you can use the heel of the palm of the left hadn and the fingers to come over the top and manipulate the bolt

Thought that I read somewhere on CGN about a lefty that was O.K. with the way his 858 worked for shooting left, but can't find it now. I did notice that the HK is advertised as being ambi, so that's good, albeit pretty expensive. Just hoping to hear some (left)hands-on opinions is all. I'm a newb. but after all the reading that I've been doing on CGN I'm thinking that I would like to buy a non-restricted tac-type rifle or two eventually. For one thing I can't see them getting any easier or cheaper to buy. I also like the fact that for now at least you could use them in the field. Last but not least they look cool and there seems to be lot's of stuff available in the aftermarket to farkle them up and make them look even cooler. Of course spending time & money on one would be a waste if it was no fun to shoot as a southpaw.
Wondering who this lefty specialized CGN advertiser is too?
Hell, I'm a southpaw, and I have no problem shooting semis. The only thing I have to do is tuck in my right arm so that it is more under the gun than to the right of it. I have yet to be hit by brass, and I can't say it affects my accuracy at all.
I've gotta Garand and I'm a leftie. It ejects the brass at 6 o'clock and bounces the occasional one off my noggin. No biggie. Wear a cap. I've got a Benelli SBE in right hand too. Shoot better with it than any shottie I've ever had.
Here I was thinking the question was which firearm can be operated from the left-hand side with most ease and comfort, not which firearm can be operated from the left hand. In the case of the latter, practically all firearms can be operated from the left hand.
Have a look at the BAR:
ww.browning.com/products/catalog/firearms/detail.asp?value=002B&cat_id=031&type_id=352
That don't sound right? How much grease you got on that thing? All of the M1's I've ever owned all ejected to the 1-2 o'clock position.
thanks.. that looks like it might work.
If you're near Calgary, TSE has a few of the BAR shortracs in stock in 300wsm IIRC, in both camo and black. Can't remember prices, but you could call to find out.
Mine ejects anywhere from 12 to 2 o'clock too, but if you shoot really hot or factory ammo out of them you'll get different results.
