Yeah, I meant for service rifles where typically accuracy isnt the top priority. Most people can learn to cope with it, even if your other eye is strongly dominant.
Everyone is different, but I have taught people to shoot and I am myself a strongly left-eye dominant righty. I have no problem with it for rifle with a magnified optic and I learned to deal with it for 1x red dot and irons. I had to cover my left eye with a patch or blacked out glasses lens to train my brain to deal with it, but it does work. I still prefer to cover one eye in some positions and situations.
I taught my family to shoot righty because it isnt that hard to shoot with your non-dominant hand and there are so many more options for right-handed rifles. IMO, for service rifles, it doesnt necessarily make sense to spend much engineering effort to accomodate 10% of users.
Now dont get me wrong: I sometimes switch sides for training, so I do appreciate ambidextrous controls on rifles and I detest shooting wrong-handed on some guns. I just dont think it needs to be a dealbreaker when you can train around it.
