This is an interesting concept. I would think that if one was to transition from R to L or vice-versa, the action should change sides as well (if bolt action). Otherwise, cycling the action would be more clumsy.
I am R handed, but when I got into hunting a few years back tried to shoot 10% of my gophers L handed as practice. I have shot 2 deer in the last 5 years L handed as that was the best way to make the shot in that moment. Made me thankful I had practiced, but I didn't need to cycle the bolt quickly
Could the shooter also consider other action types? A lever action or semi-auto? I am unsure if a semi-auto would eject the hot casing into your face if firing L handed?
I wish him good fortune switching over!
