So with testing and looking I think the MB06 sniper is a rifle that has

the change-ability of switching the bolt around, if so, can you guys correct me please,

now all I have to do is work on my left eye being dominant.

Thank you,

K.

 
Yes, that's the only one that comes with a left hand bolt. I only bought used ones and those didn't come with it so make sure it's included in the package.

However the MB06 is not a good base for a sniper rifle. Maybe you will be better off with buying a Bar-10 and convert it to a left hand bolt with DIY.

Yeh, I told him this last time he asked, heh. The Bar/VSR bolt conversion isn't too hard if you've got a Dremel or just a file and some patience.

As it's just airsoft it doesn't really matter if you shoot a right handed bolt action without your dominant eye & hand. It's a whole different kettle of fish with real firearms, but it really doesn't matter in airsoft.

It's just a case of getting used to using it with the other hand/eye combo.

 
Annnd we also said that in that last thread, hah. Honestly I'm left handed and I've just learnt to deal with it. It's such a non-issue.

Have you tried firing a Bolt action sniper rifle with your left hand? (Assuming your right hand i the dominant one).. It's horrible! God help anyone, friend or foe that's infront of me!

Am left handed and trying to cycle the bolt while shooting lefty although possible is a clusterphuk. An ambidextrous bolt would be a mighty handy thing if it were possible. I generally shoot right handed but it would at times be advantageous to be able to switch more easily.

I'm impressed! Although I have to admit, my wife's left handed and she holds a gun in her right hand?

Have always fired guns right handed.... except pistols which I mainly shoot left handed. Can't shoot real SA80's left handed lol.

I have certainly found occasions where firing my VSR left handed would have been a massive advantage though had I been able to cock it less cack handed.
