F Class open

I am going to get a F class rifle built, my question is: I am naturally right handed but shoot left hand, would it be better for me to get a left handed bolt or could I get away with a right handed bolt with a ambidextrous stock?

You could do a right bolt left port if that makes you more comfortable...I'm a fan of ambidextrous stocks being left handed myself. There are some right/left hand stocks such as the new CentreTrac stocks which feel pretty bloody nice though.

Gday Tim,
I’m naturally right handed but I shoot left handed because I’m left eye dominant. I have both right bolt/port and left bolt/port actions. I find the left bolt left port works best for me because,

1. I use a spotting scope on my right side. It gets to cramped with a right bolt.
2. It feels more comfortable for me to have the bolt on the left.
3. I find having the bolt on the left is better when you are a left hand shooter in team shooting. You can close the bolt when directed to while holding the joy stick to keep the cross hairs on the X.
