HDAV Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Probably more comfortable but air rifle stock are pretty straight unless they have a raised cheek piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chandler Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 I'm a left and shoot a right handed s10, R10, and HW77 and all are fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonwolf444 Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 ive always shot right handed rifles left handed and left eyed. Although i made a left handed thumbholde stock for my xs78, and it improved my steadyness and accuracy a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catweazle Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Hi, I shoot left handed. Do I need a left handed air rifle? (Simple but honest question) Jon You can use an ambi rifle, but it won't be as good as a proper L/H one. Try a Rapid Mk2, very nice shaped stock.

secretagentmole Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 A left handed rifle is ideal, but restricts resale, an ambi stock like an HW95 opens the rifle up to both left and right handed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbox Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 I'm a lefty and shoot a right handed S200. As others have said as long as it hasn't got a raised cheek piece you'll be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Pretty sure that all S200's are Ambi,tbox.Best bet is to try before making up your mind-unless the gun has a really pronounced cheekpiece then you can get away with it.A lot of guns are advertised on guntrader as RH but are actually Ambi-Air Arms SL's proper BSA's (meteor,mercury etc) If I was looking for a decent gun at the mo I would hold out for an Original 45-Ambi stocks and a classic of the future.

mad68 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 I`m right handed but shoot left due to left eye dominance, i prefer a true left handed stock but its never bothered me using right handed weapons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
