    I shoot lefty in Service Rifle. I'm left eye dominant, and I shoot pistols right handed.

    I've adapted, when I started out, I had to wear a ball cap to keep the hot brass from bouncing off of my forehead.

    I don't really notice it now...

    I'm a true lefty and the only time I use a stag left hand upper is when I'm shooting suppressed.

    thanks,
    alan

    I'm left-handed and left-eye dominant, but I shoot right-handed because that's the way I learned to do it.

    Being a true lefty I bought a complete Stagg 2L because when I was looking for a rifle and realized that I was going have to spend around a $1000 I decided that I wanted something that was fitted to me rather than having to adapt to it.
    My experience was, finding anything left handed is almost as hard as finding cheap ammo.
    I have only had it out once (60- 70) rounds because of the G## D#### snow, but it preformed flawlessly and am looking forward keeping this ammo-hog fed.

    I agree the hunting logo dosn't fit the image but I can't see it when I look down the sights.

    I’m left eye dominant and was thinking of a true left handed AR but is it true that I would lose the availably of most AR parts out there.

    I'm left eye dominant and have a Stag carbine and a Stag varmint-if they make them why not have them JMHO
    Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to Fight, he'll just kill you.

    holy old thread, Batman!

    The only argument I have heard to contradict this is that if you're ever in a situation where only right-handed rifles are available, you'll be at a disadvantage... not a strong argument- since chances are what ever is available wouldn't be familiar, anyway..

    I'm left eye dominant, but right handed- I learned to shoot rifle left handed, but when I started shooting Pistol for the first time a few years ago, I tried both hands, and found that any eye dominance advantage is offset by hand dominance, and couldn't detect any advantage based on which hand, so I started shooting pistol with both hands.. and with a shotgun it's close..

    I'm need to try shooting right handed with my rifles, and see what the difference is now... but I don't find it objectionable to shoot left handed, except with bolt rifles... I won't buy another right-handed bolt rifle unless I can learn to shoot them right-handed...

    I want to get a varmint upper, and have thought of getting a LH Stag for the first time... I currently don't own a single left-handed rifle- just ambi pistols...

    I actually shot righty most of my life but due to an eye injury my left eye became my dominant eye. I've found it hasn't affected my shooting handguns that much but it had a huge effect on my long gun shooting and since I like to hit what I'm aiming at I retrained myself to shoot lefty. Most of my rifles are standard righties but my AR purchases in the last few years have been Stag lefties since they make them. Quality guns and great warranty.
