RIGHT HANDED SWINE!!!....There are approximately 708 million left-handers in the world...we like fancy pcp air guns too! If FX is listening, it must be with their right ear only...
I've complained about this to FX on various forums since 2007...after a while a body gets a bit frustrated!
Fondest regards and best seasonal wishes....

Actual footage of left-handed shooter trying to get FX Corporation's attention...
PS: There's some really nice features on that gun...too bad a magazine makes a lousy cheek rest!

You have a valid point Uncle Hoot. Maybe they are putting something together for the left handed folks, as it would sell.

I was pleasantly surprised, even impressed a bit, that they actually put a 20MOA rail on it. Cudos to FX! Having to put out the extra cash for 20MOA rings always burned my butt. Cuz they have known for a long time they were needed on most of their guns.
Yup, left handers have about as much trouble with stuff as us short people. We both deserve better but until there are more of us it's not likely to happen.

I am considering a crowd funding appeal in order to send Uncle Hoot and and his pig to see Frederick the self hating left handed owner of FX, any offers?

LOL. Don't people often compare FX to be the Apple of the airgun industry? Well, here you go!

I shoot my impact and boss left what is the problem? Trigger hand stays put, right hand cocks and loads magazines.
I can see why the mag position would be a problem with the maverick. But all fx guns? Gimme a break.

I think it's a sweet gun. I thought about getting another crown for my .30 rig, but this looks like the ticket! My old continuum is perfect for .22 caliber however.
New Crowns have 20moa rails as well.

I don't know what you're talking about; I don't see any similarities at all . . . the top rifle is clearly designed to shoot to the left and the bottom one only shoots to the right.

The mag sticks out the right side of the stock where my cheek would go. The cocking and loading is no big deal as I have to deal with it on all guns I owns.
I have been considering a Dreamline as they are lefty friendly but I would prefer an Impact or this new Maverick.

Mag position is a non issue on the impact when shooting left. It's more near the side of the chin and has no "impact" on cheek rest.
See?

I also shoot left handed and have never had a problem. Even though I bought the Maverick for my son, I do t see a problem for a lefty shooting it. If there is a problem, Stephen at K&L will make something for it.

Well, at least FX is starting to have 20 MOA built into their scope rails. I know I've mentioned it several times so I'll give them that. Now if we could get the rest of the airgun industry on board, that would be swell.

I do CAD - design work, driving the mouse with R hand, and whenever I need to type in some numbers I need to let the mouse aside and punch the numbers on the numpad (on the R side of the keyboard)...with R hand.
The guy beside me is a L handed...he drives the mouse with L hand and can punch the numpad simultaneously not lifting a finger...
This was piiising me for quiet some time, why the keyboards are built for L handed people? Why is no built in numpad from L side so I can use both my hands in same time?
so you lefties don't be so such a sensitive and winding always for opposite side...
