I grew up in a right handed world and even though my dad, brother and me are left handed, it wasn't easy to get LH guns back then, so we all learned to use RH guns...
Anyway, back in the early 70's, I went to a gun shop where I trusted the elderly owners opinion VERY much and I told him I was looking for a 22 rifle that was "accurate" and would last me "the rest of my life". I told him I was moving to Alaska and it had to be totally reliable as I guessed it was going to help keep me fed!
Anyway, he went off in the back room and came out with the RH Anschutz you see in the pict... It was $95.00 and I fell in love with it on the spot, as I had never seen such a fine 22 in my life!
So, I told him the best I could do was give him half the money then and come back with the other half later and he agreed.
SO, when I moved to Alaska, it went with me and it did indeed keep me fed and has been totally reliable!
Some years later, when LH rifles became more the "norm", I learned to use the "proper side" rifles, and started replacing my RH rifles for LH rifles, it was many years later when I bought the LH 1416 and I have enjoyed it very much too...
AND YES, I can shoot RH and LH, but LH is my natural and preferred side...
