I am a lefty shooter. All of my bolt action rifles are right handed. When prone shooting or bench shooting with a front rest, or bipod I can stay on the scope, and cycle the bolt with my right hand. As long as it is a short action. With a longer action you will wind up with the bolt hitting you in the face. With tbe CZ 527 I never have to come off the scope. Follow up shots are quick. With any long actions I have to move my face to cycle the bolt anyway.
