Left-Handed Scope Usage Question

[djohn]

I'm thinking of putting a Fulton Armory scope mount on my SA Garand and given that the mount and scope end up offset to the left a little and I shoot left-handed does anyone have any experience on whether this setup works for a left-handed shooter? Any experiences anyone can share with me here would be most apperciated. I know the scout mount is an option, but it is my 2nd choice. Thanks.

..a lefty will have his cheek on the right side , so he'd have to crawl over the top of the stock to get there, so no. Now a righty with a left dominant eye is something else.

I shoot M1c's and M1d's left handed, no major dramas. Just have to be a bit extra careful to not cant the weapon. Shooting both eyes open (which I generally do w/ everything) make keeping things upright easier. I've found Japanese sniper rifles are the hardest to shoot whilst maintaining zero cant, BTW.

I also have very little use for the cheek pads from either shoulder, so they usually get removed.

Thanks much for the feedback. I think I'll give the setup a try.
