I am a southpaw, and have always shot right-handed bolts with straight stocks (Ruger M77, Win 70, Browning, CZ etc.) left-handed.
I am now looking to purchase a Winchester 70 rifle. In my combination of options, all the stocks I can find have a righty cheekpiece. I am looking specifically at Ultimate Weather SS and Ultimate Shadow models (I'd rather have a wood stock, but I need a stainless action), both of which have a righty cheekpiece.
I don't have experience with such stocks. I can see that some such stocks can be a problem for lefties, particularly if (1) they have a cast and (2) if the cheekpiece is large.
Lefties: have you shot a righty Ultimate Weather or Ultimate Shadow stock left-handed? What do you think? Did the cheekpiece stock hamper you?
Thanks in advance for the opinions. I am reluctant to purchase without hearing first-hand feedback on these stocks from lefties shooting left-handed.
Lefties of the world unite!
