    If you want a left-handed PCP rifle I have a nice little Falcon FN19 going cheap, and as you are a noobie/returner to air rifles I'll knock a bit more off for you

    Like you, i used shoot left handed ( i am a R/H'er) but this was only because my left eye was strongest of the two. Since having lenses implanted in both eyes, i can now shoot right handed.

    So, you could go down one of two roads here ;

    A: Simply buy an ambi stock - that way you are set up for whichever hand you want to shoot with.

    B: Bite the bullet and have a go at designing and making one yourself, that way it will be made by you, for you - a very personal and unique (to you) piece of kit.

    If it helps, I chose option B, simply because although i already had a beech traditional style ambi stock (so i didn't need option A) it it wasn't what i wanted in my heart - a dedicated R/H walnut thumbhole stock.

    Hope that helps?

    Cheers,
    One Shot.
