Thanks for the advice. It is good to hear lefties are being catered for. I am not a fan of reaching over to action the bolt. If you have a stable position then extra movement will only bring inconsistency.

Welwyn’s gun is a true left gun, as is my daughters Barnard, our P14 will be an over bolt & with its open top loading port it should be less difficult to load. Most important is it can be loaded in aim & within the 70mils rule of the target, after that full-bore shooters tend to rebuild their position from a rest position for each shot so not a much a problem as in 22.

Having a safe LH action & a real LH grip will be a big help to our 2 LH members. Previously they were limited to a RH Swing side port bedded with car body filler into a bit of LH wood so somebody had to load for them. It did 1/4-1/2 moa elevation though so don’t knock Izopon P40 as a night before the shoot bedding compound!

Fultons have 2 LH target rifles on their web. Norman Clark had a LH Swing too recently might still have it. If you get a LH gun then I may be persuaded to part with my LH stock for a price but you will have to mill out all the car body filler :lol:

I am liking the DIY bedding compound!
