Scopes for lefties??

There are lefties out there [maybe 5% of us] but apparently the mfgers don't feel that the lefty business is worth it. With Leupolds you can easily fix that if you use a duplex, TMOA or even a windplex reticle.

Update: I posed my question to Desert Dog and ge came up with a great/very practical solution. Watch the Feb 2025 Hunt Camp video of his on Youtube. The guy is extremely knowledgeable.

I'm a lefty. I like the side focus turret of Leupolds being on the left side. For a scope that has only windage and elevation turrets there's no reason why it can't be mounted with the elevation on the left and windage on top since there's usually the same amount of travel on both. Would be fine for a duplex reticle.

Just recently purchased another scope from Schmalts a Leupold 182502. Since it has a AO, I've mounted it like I normally would. Might try to hunt with it if I draw an antelope tag.

Out of 100 shooters, about 89 are backwards. If you asked 100 sinistral riflemen if they've ever wished for side focus to starboard, how many would have even thought about it? I never have.

The next time I'm out practicing at distance I'm going to compare focusing for sharp image versus what the marks on the scope say. This may be another of those things that doesn't matter in practice.
