Title: Knight DISC - Left Handed Thumbhole
Post by: Sabotloader on April 01, 2012, 09:24:30 PM: Really did not think I would see this but Knight is now offering a DISC and Mountaineer with a Left handed wood laminate stock?

I assume, but do not know, the cost of re-tooling to reconstruct the reciever portion of the rifle would be so expensive the few left handed ML shooters that might be interested would not be interested in the price tag that would be attached. Left handed hunters have been using right handed rifles for many years. We left handers have been making adaptations for the right handed world for ages. 12% of the population is left handed and of that 12 how many hunt and of those that hunt use a ML? the number just gets smaller...
