Same here. An additional annoyance is that the right eye is the better of the two. Really only affects my handgun shooting, though.

There are a couple double rifle safari guns in the National Firearms Museum up the road that are curiously made for folks like us - right handed weapons but the wrist of the stock snakes out to the right and back to enable a right hander to shoot with their left eye. They are high dollar, exquisite pieces, engraved all over with wood so beautiful you will want to shed a tear when you see it. Alas they were probably commissioned for a one time trip by a filthy rich patron who thought he had to have it and was convinced he couldn't shoot well otherwise. Alas I can't seem to find a picture of one. Guess you'll have to go see it for yourself. Hollar' if you are in town!

Some of those were a direct result of veterans of the great war returning with only one serviceable eye. That was something that surprised me to find out years ago...before it was lost to time.

Ammo has been shipped!

Glad that's on the way finally. Free shipping didn't hurt a bit, did it?

Got some of the '71 with the vintage bandoliers. The HXP ammo looks great, and just like the WW2 Win I picked up last winter.
The impracticality of the rimmed case in stripper clips is clear to see. Between removal from the bandolier and loading into the rifle, it is necessary at least half the time to restack the cases correctly to avoid feed problems. No big deal I guess for cadets but hardly desirable in a combat situation.
