pianoman 3,587 Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 (edited) Oh how I wish this rifle was available in a proper left hand version. I'd have two in both calibres, but, a .22 for all round hunting work would be the apple of my eye.Air Arms seem to really cocked this up, with only a limited run a few years ago of left handed stocks set-up with right handed actions. They were all snapped up fast and that should have told Air Arms something. Alas they do not appear to have listened!It's the Prosport's walnut stock that makes the appearence of the rifle so beautiful to look at and has a balance that perfectly suits the rifle's handling. Even shooting a few right hander Prosoprts was a pleasure to me. The forend particularly was a pleasing hand rest. If a rifle looks right, it handles right!I know Custom Stock of Sheffield are very nice and make their stocks to fit but, that's not what I want here. . S'not fair! :cray: SO.... I'll just soldier on with two of the finest underlever spring air rifles of all....HW77 .22 and HW97K.177 Edited December 27, 2015 by pianoman 1 Quote Link to post
