Amen to that!!

If you really think you'll want to sell it at a later date bear in mind that lefties are less than 10% of the shooting population and AR-10's are a niche item even among the right-handed shooters. A bolt gun would definitely be easier to sell later on.

I have 2 left-handed bolt rifles and a Stag lefty AR-15. Only lefty anywhere in my family until my daughter gave me a left-handed grandson.

My wife is a lefty but does a lot of things right handed. She?s borderline ambidextrous. Trying to teach her to shoot was fun because she shoots right handed but is left eye dominant.

Those were always fun when I was teaching new shooters. I'm a lefty that shoots right handed, right-eyed, too. I got lucky.

I'm the only lefty in the family. I'm guessing the AR10 will be easier to sell in the future.

Any argument?

If you build / assemble an AR-10 LH rifle. The only thing needed down the road for r/h shooters would be an upper and bcg.

As for the bolt action, go for it.
The S-I-L is a l/h shooter anytime i've seen a l/h bolt action i've got it for him. They're few & far between. They also sell real fast, in the 2nd hand market. As other l/h shooters are always on the lookout for them.

With that said, i scored one of these P.O.F Revolt straight pull rifles for him. Since CA has an issue with semi autos.

OP:
I'm a lefty but my comments aren't related to that.
FWIW: I bought a right-hand DPMS AR-10 type in 6.5 CM and had alot of issues. Found out the popular powder for the 6.5 is H4350 and DOES NOT do well in a gas system.
Also pierced primers.................
So after messing around with powders etc and buying a bolt with a smaller firing pin hole, it started to function fine but then I was soured by it and realized it was a big-bulky rifle.

Got a LH Rem 700 and am so much happier.
Reloading is a breeze, no pressure issues and the rifle is "normal sized."

Always full-length size your bolt gun brass. If you don't, it will come back and bite you in the ass. Sizing the base of the cartridge is important. 2 thousands of bump and neck tension is a good place to start.

I shoot with a few lefties. Most started on a righty rifle and are much happier now. Bighorn, Impact, Kebly's, Etc sell lefty actions. Lots of stocks and chassis are available in lefty or ambi.

Fritz @ Black Canyon Customs can build you a nice rifle locally. Typer's-Hide even has a lefty for sale section.
