I have had a S&R for probably 30+ years. I even have a set of Lee 7.5x55 hand dies for it. As far as being LH friendly I dunno. I think it would be very awkward personally. On a side note I think if you could see the tartget at 700+ yards this beast would hit it! Check with K31 on AW he is the guru on these. BTW got mine at Walgreen's yup that's right in the 70's for $19.95!

i'm a southpaw, and the s-r is as easy to shoot as an ar-15 for me. no problems, whatsoever.
if you can justify the ammo costs, the k-31 ranks right up there with the finnish m-39 and swedish m-96 for accuracy (i still say the swede is the best damn bolt gun ever built!). |

Cole Distribution has new made Portuguese for about $8 a box. It is reloadable, and shoots quite well. Have not shot it in this caliber yet, but the .303, 6.5 X 55, and 7.5 French shoot great.

AIM surplus has Swiss surplus ammo from the 70's. It's great stuff.

the guys up here are shooting the jen-you-wine swiss ammo from aim. it's very accurate/consistant ammo.
i would buy the k-31 in a heartbeat but for the ammo expense. one of these days i'm gonna have to start reloading again. |

The ammo from AIM is expensive, BUT, remember, it is Swiss match ammo. You get what you pay for.
As for the left handed shooting, I think it would be very hard. Remember how hard and odd looking it was for the American sniper in Saving Private Ryan? The straight pull wouldn't be much easier IMO. |

Thanks for the replys , I got my ffl to order me one. I've had to deal with being a lefty in a righty world of firearms before I guess it won't bother me to much if it does I can fall back on my lefthand model 70's. Ditto on that M96 swede Campy , already have one myself.
