Not my political view, just my problem! In my quest to find a left handed PCP, I am consideringt the HW100k. I have looked at this rifle, and it seems great, reliable manufacturer, good reviews etc. However; although having a universal stock I see the action is on the right. Are there any fellow lefties out there who have this rifle, and can state one way or the other if it is suitable/usable for me? My only other option I see is the AA S400 (carbine or classic?) _________________ Brand new to the sport Gamo Shadow 1000 Hawkw 3-9 Sport HD   Posted: Sat Feb 14, 2009 6:19 pm broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands Hm, you'd have to contact the dealer for left-handed availability... It can be a bit of a pain in the a$$ if you're left handed... _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Sat Feb 14, 2009 6:31 pm fritz Silver Status Member Joined: 25 Nov 2008 Posts: 2444 Location: New Jersey- outside of Philadelphia That's one of the things stopping me from going pcp, I'm a leftie. I can shoot right handed but am not as accurate, nor is it comfortable. On the other hand if I just dove right in and got a righty-only gun then it would be a good thing to get me switching to right handed (more available everything). _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.

They don't always go together. _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!   Posted: Sun Feb 15, 2009 3:40 am carll New Member Joined: 04 Feb 2009 Posts: 7 Location: Dartford, UK Slavia wrote: Quote: I'm a leftie Are you saying left-handed, or left eye dominant? They don't always go together. Hi I shoot left handed, and though I also look through my left eye, I do keep both eyes open. I am also a keen photographer so this is a practice I have learnt. I understand about the dominant eye idea, but I do not honestly beleive that I could ever shoot right handed. My concern is the action of the rifle, the AA s400 has a full left handed action, but the HW seems to retain the action on the right? Is this a problem for lefties, or can it be configered to left? _________________ Brand new to the sport Gamo Shadow 1000 Hawkw 3-9 Sport HD   Posted: Sun Feb 15, 2009 3:56 am broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands I think you're gonna want to go with the Air Arms then... There isn't a huge difference in price, is there? Both are around a € 1000 here. _________________ BIG GAP AA S400   Posted: Sun Feb 15, 2009 10:07 am carll New Member Joined: 04 Feb 2009 Posts: 7 Location: Dartford, UK broommaster2000 wrote: I think you're gonna want to go with the Air Arms then...

I see Blackpool Air Rifles as one of the cheapest, does anyone else know anywhere cheaper? Thanks for everyones help so far.
