    Seems like there are a few of in the same situation... I also just shoot left handed with right handed guns.

    Unfortunately not native to NZ and more of a defect that corrective lenses can't fix which is the bugger about it all.
    Even with lenses in still a long way off where my left eye is.

    I shouldered up the rifle left shoulder but cycling bolt on right, damn that was weird and would require come considerable training however keen to try most options.

    IS there any engineers that could manufacture rings to have the scope hang out to the left or is that just a step too far?

    I looked at that but its got to be offset about 70mm it would get knocked around when hunting.
    I cut the top out of a stock so my left eye lined up with the scope with my head on its side. worked ok standing but I couldn't lie down and my thumb was hard against my nose so recoil wasn't nice.
    Go out and shoot lots of rabbits left handed and it will get easier.
