shooting with the wrong eye

[RobF]

Thank you guys, so it looks like a modified stock is the way to go.
I can do that with ease (but not on a new rifle !! )

If you drop the comb then you might get away with it, or setting up an alutec stock with an offset butt section may do it. The solution in shot guns is sometimes to use a S shaped stock, but I don't know how effective it actually is. That said the target shooting stocks often have rear sections that can be laterally offset which gets the gun over to the left more... that might work if taken further.

I'm right handed but left eye dominant, I just taught myself to shoot left handed.

Simplest and probably best answer.

The British military has, since introducing the SA80, taught everyone to shoot from the right shoulder with the right eye.

If the right eye is non-functional, learn to shoot from the left shoulder.

Because if you don't you get a case in the other eye. The army doesn't have shooters who can't use their right eye. Furthermore they're not really in the realms of caring about accuracy either, well not with the SA80 they're not.

Not quite.

The problem is not just case in the eye (ouch) but also charging handle removing teeth (big ouch).

They originally intended to field both right and left handed versions. But then thought sod it, because, as you say, all soldiers have both eyes functional.

I am no fan of the SA80, certainly not in its original form, and think we’d have been much better off buying the Dimaco version of the M16 or a developed version of the Sterling-Armalite AR18 or similar, but the SA80 is, by service rifle standards, notably accurate.

My point was simply that if your master eye and strong shoulder don’t match, the best option is to learn to shoot from the weak shoulder.

We do use the Diemaco, it's just not standard issue. But yep forgot about the cocking handle.
