stuey Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 As title, slot for a .22lr and fancy a custom 10/22, but are they available in left hand configuration? If not, does the standard gun pose any issues for the left handed shooter? regards stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 I'm a left-handed, and I've used several 10/22s, but never owned one. I didn't like the spent brass flying across my face, so I stuck with L/H bolt-actions (and L/H semi/auto shotguns). You may be able to get a case deflector for a 10/22 though, which I have on a Remington Fieldmaster. I'd go for an Anschutz or CZ in true left-hand configuration. You'll buy a gun that needs very little tweaking, that's very accurate and that doesn't have any cycling issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuey Posted March 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 thanks baldrick. Any other lefties using a 10/22 or got experience of a case deflector? cheers stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Stu, I can't think of any left-handed semi-auto .22, other than the appalling Walther G22. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuey Posted April 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Well, picked up my SYSS Custom Ruger 10/22 today and am pleased to say that as a left hander my fears were unfounded. No plroblmes with particles blowing back or dodging flying spent rounds. Think I'm going to like this gun alot. Oh and thanks to njc110381 who answered my questions as he has the same custom ruger. Currently being fed a diet of winchester subs without any jams so far. cheers stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
