Right-handed Rifle stock for Left-Eye shooter

I thought I saw somewhere that one of the rifle stock makers is now offering a rifle that allows right handed folks to shoot with their left eye comfortably? Basically a big offset on the rifle stock butt to the right.

My friend is right handed, but can't shoot with his right eye as it has partial vision at the edges only; so he shoots left handed.

With enough money, you can have anything made. Why not look into an unfinished left-handed stock, and then cut the inletting for the bolt handle on the right-hand side? Can't be too hard to do...

Agreed with homebrewer on that! I know Wenig makes one however it's only covered in his shotgun section. I would venture to say that since he caters to such, he may be able to adapt a rifle stock in such a manner. As well, MPI has been pretty awesome in customer service in my experience with them, I wonder if they would do a custom stock for your friend? I know I've seen this elsewhere, I'll look around again to see.

It's called a crooked stock. I'm told they work well but have never even seen one.

Here are two rifles that have crossover stocks. They appear to be steam bent, shouldn't be hard to do if you have a stock with enough LOP.

Where can I get an off-set scope mount? I like that idea best.

Check out the M1-D Garand to get an idea of what an offset scope set up is like. Even a reproduction will give you an idea. You just wouldn't need the cheekpiece on the stock.

You could also use just about any sidemount, only install the rings so that they offset outwards instead of over the receiver.
