Another lefty here left eye dominate as well. So I do shoot off of the left shoulder.
As far as bolt action guns go Savage, Remington, Ruger, Browning offer centerfire rifles. There a couple of others.
If you are looking at rimfire then Savage or CZ have the most to offer.
Browning is also introduced a semi auto left hand rifle.
I have a Remington and a Savage bolt gun.

Lefty by birth but thought shooting Righty was natural. Been doing it that way for many years and have never looked back.
Well, did look back long enough to pick up a Sav 99 and a Marlin 336.  | |

I'm left handed and shoot left handed. But I mostly use right handed bolt actions. They don't bother me and I have owned two lefty Savage 110's and a leftie 700 BDL but I still am right at home with a righty bolt gun.

another lefty here, im left eye dominant also so i get all messed up with bolt actions, but other than those i don't really have a problem shooting right handed guns, sometimes its better to be left handed (easier to check for a jam or something)
i do own a lefty upper for my ar though, mostly for the novelty

I shoot leftie!!! Write right handed, bat right handed. Most other things I do left handed. Left eye dominant so shoot left handed. I never owned a left handed bolt gun nor have I ever shot a left handed bolt gun. I just make the first shot count so I dont' have to worry about working the bolt. If I ever go to persue dangerous game I may rethink that though.
I do own and shoot two left handed shot guns though. 1100 and an 870.

Shoot lefty all the way, but I bought my first left-hand 700 remington 4 years ago and I'm still not used to it. Right-hand bolts feel better to me.

Yep im a lefty, but when i was 12 i was told by the instructor that i must shoot righty soo i did for about 9 or so years, when i compete shoot i shoot lefty, but when im hunting or plinking i shoot righty, pistol i made sure im comfortable with both hands. Its funny watching peoples faces when i will switch shooting sides in the middle of a clip, i still do shoot better lefty but prefer right side.

I'm lefthanded and shoot left, but am wife-dominated.
Just kidding on the wife. I wear the pants in the house, and I put them on every day right after she hands them to me.

Lefty here. After all these years of shooting, I just got my first LH gun yesterday. I wanted to finally geta LH rifle so that I can properly "sling-up" for accurate long-range shooting. It's a Savage 10FLCP in .308. I chose it because I wanted a stock with an aluminum bedding block. The reviews on this rifle have been great, too. I looks sweet! I can't wait to go try it out.

 I picked up a remington 700 sps varmint in .223 left handed. I have no complaints. 5 rounds touching at 100 years out of the box.

Wife is a lefty....she shoots a Savage Model 99 lever action (.243) and they have a tang safety. Another "lefty" rifle would be a Ruger Number 1 (tang safety). Just a thought.... | |

Iv'e been a righty my whole life but a pacemaker turned me into a lefty this year. Biggest problem Iv'e had is acquiring proper eye-relief on my scope. I shoot a bolt but like TEXNMIDWEST said it only takes one shot so no problem on reloading.
