Left Handed Sniper

Hi, I would like to get into the sniper role but I'm left handed so it makes using bolt action rifles awkward. I was thinking of getting an electric rifle such as an SR-25 or an M14 Ebr. Any suggestions are appreciated.

AEGs aren't for sniping. They're too loud, too variable, and often too inaccurate. I love my SR25, but it's strictly a DMR.

See if a retailer can get their hands on Echo1 gear for you. They sometimes get rebranded in Europe, but they'll know when ordering. Echo1 do a butt-ugly bolt action rifle called the ASR. It's reasonably priced, and has a decent supply of upgrade parts available for it.
Crucially, one of those parts is a left-hand adaptor for the bolt - which goes for the princely sum of about a tenner - and takes little more expertise to install than proficiency with a screwdriver. Instant left-hand bolt.

If that wasn't to your liking, you could pick up a VSR or VSR clone (BAR10 for example) and modify the bolt and carrier. It's a pain in the arse, but it's do-able.

That would be a Well MB06 & it should come with the left handed bolt as standard.

She's as ugly as sin though.

I knew it had a different brand here. I was convinced it was AGM, though. Like I said, butt-ugly, but it has potential and will do the job on a budget.
