They don’t. My brother wanted one in 6.5 CM. He contacted Ruger and was told no they don’t make lefties.

If you practice your techniques, you can shoot a right-handed rifle left-handed faster without losing your cheek-weld or shoulder position on the rifle. Some competitions promote these faster shooting techniques, especially when a bipod or sandbags are used. Using the off-hand takes practice for most of us as it is normally against the way we were taught. The only concern is how a rifle handles the pressure release from a pierced primer.

Most reasonably in practice folks can replicate the speed in which he shot with a carcano.
Lee Harvey Oswald could not have acted alone in assassinating President John F Kennedy, according to a new study by Italian weapons experts of the type of rifle Oswald used in the shootings.
In fresh tests of the Mannlicher-Carcano bolt-action weapon, supervised by the Italian army, it was found to be impossible for even an accomplished marksman to fire the shots quickly enough.

4 seconds plus per shot.
I’ve shot a running deer target at 100 yards in that kind of time frame and hit the target all 3 times (admittedly the hits were not very good, but it IS a carcano. I’m not that great a run and gunner and I can do it. A soldier who was trained on a bolt gun is much faster (although Oswald trained with a garand if I recall right.)
The time issue is different if you have the shooter start at a signal for 8 seconds, then the first shot is usually 1-1.5 seconds and while 2-3 seconds per shot is doable, accuracy is really hurt by requiring all your concentration on speed.
