At risk of asking an ignorant question here! My father-in-law recently passed away and left to me a left handed Browning A-Bolt .270. Can a right handed shooter safely use this gun?

Thanks for your answers!

  Just picked up a browning chambered in 7mm-300weatherby
  bolt action, synthetic stock, really nice muzzel brake, not the boss, leupold rings and mount.
  
  any idea as to what its worth?
  
  Its really hard to soar with the Eagles, when you are stuck with turkeys!

  The first A-Bolts did not have the anti cant/gall guide on them. That was the main change in the A-Bolt II, and some ergonomic nicities to the stock, such as a palm swell.
  
  I have both, and can't tell the difference in normal function.
  
  Best

  Also the II has a flat surface on the bolt that is exposed in the ejection port when closed. Browning will engrave your name on that for a fee if you send it in.
  
  I have both, too: A .243 and a .257. One day while cleaning them both I had to do some research to remember which bolt goes in which. From what I remember of that incident, the bolts will interchange.

  Another big difference is that the A-Bolt II, has an adjustable trigger.
