    Left handed stock on a right handed bolt?


    While waiting to pick up my Savage 12 VLP DBM I was thinking. Being left handed I have always used a right handed bolt “and I am used to it”, and my new Savage 12 is right handed. I just came back from Gander Mountain and was looking at a Savage 17 with a thumbhole stock. Boy that thumbhole is nice. Anyway IS possible to get a left handed thumbhole stock and put it on a right handed bolt? Just curious, it would be for experimenting. Since I am used to the right handed bolt a left handed thumbhole stock is interesting. ?
    I could call Savage and tell them NOT to slot the stock for the bolt for a left hand stock---
    Thanks

    I don't think there would be any "factory" stock set up that way?? I went the other way. I ordered up a right hand thumbhole stock cut for a left hand action. Me being right handed I figured it might work out that I could keep my right hand in the thumbhole and work the bolt with my left (free) hand. Anythings worth a try. I'll know before too long.
    Oz never gave nothing to the Tin Man, that he didn't already have.

    Boyds has a huge variety of them to fit many different models of rifles including most Savages. Look here:
