Hello,,

Yeah, understand...I could shoot right handed, but
using my right eye just didn't work...

The actual izmash website listed a left handed
version, but I checked with 3 different distributorss,
2 of them called and said no way, coulnd't get
tone...but that was two years ago...I didn't realize
though that is was some sort of a conversion from a
right handed model.

I have to say I love my anschutz...it just feels right
compared to any other rifle (all righties) that I've
used...

a left handed stock with a right handed action would
have some cutting involved to make it work I
think...also not sure how the straight pull action
would work give you would be using your left hand to
pull the trigger, and then having to release your grip
to use the right handed action...I dond't think you
would gain anything and it woulnd't feel right....

Check around, maybe there is a native left izmash? I
couldn't get one, but maybe it has changed??
