Wildcat For a Lefty??

[Eli]

To all you proud owners of the new Wildcat (the ones that actually have their rifle)... how bad would it be for a lefty to shoulder? Is the magazine too far back? 

I'm right handed, but left eye dominate. I shoot rifles left handed and with the bolt in the right hand configuration. I actually prefer the bolt to be in the right hand configuration. 

The Bobcats' bolt handle/receiver appears to be too far back for for a lefty, thus, making the rifle uncomfortable to say the least. With the design of the Wildcat it looks like the only problem I may have is the magazine being in the way where my cheek would rest.

Can someone please shoulder the rifle as a lefty and provide feedback, observations, etc.

Interestingly enough, I am right handed and left eye dominant too. Ill never forget when I was a kid and my dad finally realized it because I got a black eye on my left eye while shooting right handed. crazy. But I still shoot right handed. And i'm 42 now.

My Wildcat arrives Thursday, if you don't have responses by then I'll chime in.

Its just fine for lefties. Depends of course on where you put your cheek, but I have no issues with the mag when sholdering, however when re-loading you might want to lift your face a bit.

Could definitely be improved upon with another cheekpiece but it's not a big issue for ME.

Do they make different cheekpieces for the Wildcat or Bobcat?

As far as I know there is no lefty cheekpiece for the Wildcat yet. Have not gotten a response from them about this issue in the manufacturer feedback section of this forum.
