    I have two cousins who are wrong handed.
    I have sold them both Browning auto 22’s and they love them. I have one and I am right handed. Light weight accurate shoots shorts well for an auto loader.

    I sold one cousin a Browning BPS. Once again works for wrong and right handed equally.

    That same cousin shoots a contender like I do also. The weird gun he loves is a high point carbine. I do not know if he just adapted it but he states that it ejects up and back when firing.

    I find direct impingement to spit a lot of junk into my face, so I prefer an AK platform over an AR. I also find the controls are friendlier to lefties.

    I'm also fond of my Marlin 39 (for many reasons).

    Marlin rifles, Ithaca shotguns, lefthand bold savages, and let handed STAG ARs in my experience. Handguns the HK VP9 is high on ly list of favorites as it works well for left handers. I also have a couple of left handed muzzleloaders

    IWI bullpups! I had a Tavor-SAR and X-95, had to sell both for financial reasons but next time I get one it will be a Tavor 7 and I WILL keep it.

    Hook her up with a Browning BPS and maybe drop to the 20ga and she won't want any other shotgun. I had one in 20 that I would take to all the clay pigeon shoots and all the big burley types were standing in line trying to buy it from me. Very versatile...
    I have a 28. Wonderful guns.

    I am a lefty (rifle only) and shoot all my ARs and bolt guns lefty style, but own none in left hand manipulation. All my rifles are right handed, am I a freak or miscreant.?

    Im a righty but dad had Penrod redo his old Savage w a straight taper bbl and 700 lug. 243 win.

    And he never shot it ( old stagger feed of short action but older screw spacing.
    He never did find a stock for it.

    Thinking hog out an old varmint 110 stock from that era and shoot bench or chucks w it.

    I have had 2 Ruger #1 in .243, a B and an RSI. Both were dandies.
    Currently have an old .22-250 in B. Had a pre B in .280 rem.
    And I have a #3 redone in .219 dw wearing #1 wood and a Canjar trigger.
    Yeah, ruger single shots are OK
