Have a left-hand twist and like it. Torques into your body and keeps the jag tight when wiping. H. Pope used LH twist for most of his rifles from what I read.

It torques into your cheek shooting offhand and out of your hand on the bench.

I cannot detect any torquing when a rifle goes off. As far as I can tell it recoils straight back, left or right twist. 

What gets me messed up with a left hand twist is where to hold for wind. Notice the chart says for "right hand twist".

It took a while, but I finally figured out what was causing the results on the target with my 33-47. 

If you use a mirror to look at that chart, it will work perfectly with left hand twist  Cheesy
