hi, picked one of these up in a comp recently. It is a nice rifle but it is r/h and i am a lefty. i asked about whether they do a l/h stock but they dont apparently.

 

it has quite a significantly dropped butt which may not affect a r/h shooter as it has a good sized cheek piece, but on the other side there isntnything and i am finding getting my head in line/in the same place shot on shot is difficult. i bought a neoprene stock cover to see if that would help to raise my side a bit but nowhere near...

 

does anyone know if you can get stocks for this...i dont want to pay a fortune and was thinking about trying to make one but i have limited tools etc for that. i was even wondering if the current stock could be cut off in some way to enable me to add another piece of wood to form a l/h stock??

 

not too bothered about looks as it will be a workhorse and not on show...concerned if i start to hack away at the stock it may weaken it....if i did anything i would need to find suitable advice but i have a friend who is a cabinet maker who may well have more tools etc..

 

any thoughts...
