The magazine is centered and low, ambidextrous for sure. The cocking lever is on the right so it would favor a lefty and is forward so there would be no interference.

The bloke I bought mine from drilled a hole where the hammer spring adjustment screw us located.
That is a very handy mod!

@Firewalker. Yes, that make it much easier to adjust the HS without taking everything off. Just slide the butt plate down and make the adjustment. Thanks for sharing.

Ordered one n .22cal. from Wes today! Looks like it's going to be a fun project. Thanks for the help guys.

I'm judging from reviews but I am pretty sure the magazine is centered on the action and thus sticks out the same small amount on both sides of the gun. It thus is no more in the way for a left shoulder shooter than it is for a right shoulder shooter. What an enlightened way to do it.
I am wondering if the trigger mechanism is like the P35 at least in the first stage. The P35 has a small spring that looks something like a ballpoint pen spring about half way back on the trigger rod that adjusts with a collar on one end that has a grub screw. By reducing the tension in that spring I reduced the trigger in my P35s about 1 lb.

Excellent. Have fun playing with yours. So far mine was blasting the rats pretty good. Let us know how it goes with yours. Cheers.

Yes, Jim the magazine is well designed and it is centred in the middle for both left and right handed shooter. The trigger is very easy to adjust with the linkage system.

Loving mine!
I dropped 4 mags of JTS Dead Center 18gr pellets on steel at 100y in a 5-10 variable crosswind today. 4 MOA in a shotgun pattern. 50y still continues to impress, several groups in a row with a single splash on steel, undecipherable group size. Very Impressive!

@Firewalker. Thanks. I think Wes carries them but out of stock at the moment. I will continue with the Hades 16gr for now as I am using the M60B for rats shoot. Once I get another rat outing, I will switch out the Pard scope with a regular scope to see if I can stretch it out pass 50 yards.

I'm pretty hyped!
Here are 4 consecutive 10m groups of 5 shots each. JTS Dead Center 18.1gr round nose pellets from a fresh bore.
The movement off the bull is due to me sighting the scope in on Target 1 & 2 while 3 & 4 were centered on the bull so dont look at the bull, just the group sizes.
Center to center:
.082"
.032"
.068"
.092"
The M60 is tuned to 1 full turn of the hammer spring in from flush with the back, 140 on the regulator, 920 fps velocity.

VERY lefty friendly! Infact, probably made for a lefty.
Cocking handle is forward, on the right leave your hand on the pistol grip when cocking.
Mag is dead-center of the buttstock, not in the way at all.

BTW-airgun Archery Fun has mags in stock, just bought 2 more.
80 shots in the field, awesome!

That is great. Glad yours shoot well also. This gun definitely has a lot of potential to hang with more expensive PCP.
I did a bit of shooting today with the new Discovery Scope on the M60B. The Hades 16gr was found the most accurate in my previous test and I found the H&N Baracuda 15 also shot tight groups at 50 yards. I was focusing on testing out the scope today so I didn't have time to record and do accuracy tests between these two pellets. I will do one in the near future.
