Hello, just another left handed bolt action enjoyer

[@MattQ1987]

It was pretty reliable on November 22nd, 1963

[@tlock4616]

I have one. Never had any issues with it other than it had a burr on the bolt that would cause jams. Took the bolt apart, filed the burr down, and now it's slick. Fairly accurate, I love it.

ratchik-ratchuk ah yes, RDR2 memories

@@SoulElement How many shots before you need to clean the real gun, btw? Always wondered. In game you barely get 50 shots before it is trash

[@SoulElement]

​@@Matt..SI do a clean after every second time I take it to the range. So about once every ~120 shots. I bet I could go for much longer but I enjoy the easy upkeep. In RDR2, I think diving around on the ground also worsens the condition.

[@Matt..S]

@@SoulElement It is pretty much a set stat, at least online. I think 50 kills are the max "allowed" per gun before it is maximum dirty. But 120 shots? You know, you could just go to a massage therapist if you want to treat your shoulder.

[@SoulElement]

​@@Matt..SI do maybe 60 shots a session. She gets pretty hot. Recoil is actually quite manageable even though it's coming from a small package.

The hostage taker will have no leverage if you eliminate the hostage yourself.

[@SoulElement]

​@@mahbuddykeith1124 ZERO negotiations around here 😂

[@SoulElement]

To be fair: the en bloc clip stays in the rifle ~ 1 out of every 5 times. I've had better luck with steel than the brass versions. Have a great day 🙏

[@austindickson1671]

It runs so nicely because you shoot with the superior hand

[@SoulElement]

@@austindickson1671 Haha maybe 😅

[@jaredfinlay1557]

Fascinating to see a left handed shooter use a bolt action, do you prefer using your cycling method or do you prefer left handed/ ambidextrous rifles?

[@SoulElement]

@@jaredfinlay1557 I swap between right and left handed with no real preference. I like this way of using the bolt when I go left handed. I initially copied the way Jackson used his in Saving Private Ryan and it felt natural ever since. For me, it's not ideal for holding a sight picture, but it's fun. To answer your other question: I'm not a huge fan of left handed rifles. Ambidextrous arms are pretty neat.

[@bushmaster22]

Why not use your other? Hand for operating the bolt because either way you’re losing your sight picture Is this just preference?

[@SoulElement]

@@bushmaster22 right thumb was sprained. I switch between both left and right often. No real preference.

Fellow south paw!!!

[@gregingo]

I wish for more lefty firearms... I see you deal with the same thing I do... :(

[@SoulElement]

Ehh not really for me. I intermittently swap between both left and right. At the time of recording, I had recently sprained my right thumb so I swapped to lefty.

[@anthonyrojes4196]

Pal that’s a right handed bolt action

[@SoulElement]

@@anthonyrojes4196 and my right thumb was sprained. I regularly swap between left and right, pal.

[@FkUToob1776]

You had a failure to right hand shoot

[@SoulElement]

Right thumb was recently sprained at the time of recording. I can do both.

[@T1000Rex]

I assume that it would perform worse in the dirt

[@SoulElement]

@@T1000Rex I always see videos on KZbin of it in a controlled setting malfunctioning with the comment section littered with "It's not a Carcano if there isn't a malfunction."
