Was wondering if anyone out there shoots the fx wildcat or bobcat that is left handed. Wanting to buy one so bad but don't know how it would work out. Im very interested in the new impact as will but it looks right handed bias. Any direction would be appreciated....
FX new breed of rifles leaving out the left handers....

The right side lever does not bother me but according to travels4fun there is no cheek rest on the right side of the wildcat which could make shooting awkward. Not sure about the impact. I hope to be in Arizonia at the end of the year and hope to visit AOA. If you can wait I will post my observations. There is a thread about left-hand shooters and bullpups. Might want to look at the Vulcan. The lever can be changed to the other side.

I am a lefty and I have a Bobcat that I really like shooting but it's a huge Pellet rifle . I was going to get the wildcat but saw this one a little cheaper so went with it . As a lefty I think that we can just make things work for us . I didn't know the bobcat was so huge if I did I would have made the wildcat work because I want to hunt more then bench shoot . I am hoping to see a Edgun used cheap some day they seem pretty lefty friendly . But anyways the bobcat doesn't seem to be unfriendly to me cause of my situwaytion .

I'm a lefty. I had the same concerns. And I just received my Wildcat .22 and so far, I'm enjoying it! I have no issues with right side cheek rest - none -what-so-ever. The magazine does not interfere either. Plus, because the wildcat's lever is pushed up to the center, it makes all the difference. Actually, I think I prefer the lever being on the right side as oppose to my P-Rod's bolt, which I intentionally flipped to the left side, supposedly making it lefty friendly.

If actually manufacturing left-handed rifles is too much to ask, you'd think they'd at least make them ambidextrous. Seems like a relatively easy way to instantly increase your market by 10-15%.
