While I am right handed, I am strongly left eyed and will often shoot my right handed rifles from the port side. There have also been a few occasions where a shot from my left shoulder made for a more stable shooting position. With or without a cheek piece, that clearance is functional and welcome.
My last black eye came when my new M1 taught me to change my grip on that rifle. I would enjoy greater thumb clearance there!
