What Rifle, Driving me Mad!!!!

[Malinois 0]

Hi,

I have a variation for a 6.5x55 plus moderator. I have been going around various gunshops looking at different rifles.

 

I am left handed but all through my life have shot right handed rifles and cannot see it makes too much difference.

 

However I thought to myself that if I am paying for a new rifle I may aswell get a left hander.

 

I was in a gusnhop recently shouldering all the rifles and the dealer said that I would know when I had the right rifle as it seems to speak to you.

 

My problem was that the Steyr Pro Hunter Mountain spoke to me and was a great fit, I liked the shortness and fast handling.

 

My problem is that it is not available in left hand.

 

Do I just stick with right hand?

 

Also there are loads of rumours about the Steyr Pro Hunter stock being weak. Is this only in the MK1 version?

Hi Ian

 

It is the easy option but if i were you i would have a left hooker !

 

You will find a left hander so much easier to operate without thinking. Would you wear shoes that were the wrong size just because you liked them ?

 

Take your time and choose carefully.

I'm also a leftie mate and have shot right handed rifles all my life, Now if looking to sell the rifle on in a few years the value will project the demand,

 

right handed guns will always sell alot quicker if you need to sell it.
