    Stock question

    I have a friend that is right handed but due to an accident has no right eye. He is in the market for a bolt action rifle and needs a left hand stock but a right hand action. Is there such a stock or rifle available without going custom? Are any rifles made with ambidextrous stocks? Thanks Barry
