Looks like I’ll move the lever over…. Sometimes the simplest solutions are overlooked. I like the left hand cocking on my wife’s Uragan and the r5m I sold.Good write up...I had an MKII Impact in 30 cal and really liked it, but POI shifts were extreme if I bumped the rifle while hunting or at Extreme Field Target matches. I don't get that with the....The trigger on the Impact was better and easier to adjust, but after reading and talking to Derrick I was able to do a trigger job on the ghost and it's pretty nice now.
I like the safety on theFor me it's very easy to use. I put my cocking lever on the left side....I like it on the left side that way my right hand (Strong hand) is always on the grip controlling the rifle....Hunting, Field Target, Bench shooting, never an issue.
The wife changed her cocking lever on herto the left....

Will do if I end up going that route.let me know how that goes. I'm mainly shooting m3 .25 500 mm.
I understand your situation and it limits your options. In your shoes a big bore air gun may be your only option.A conventional firearm is not an option. I agree with what you said. I have no intention of hunting or looking for a bear, however if a bear sticks his head inside my tent I would feel better with a big bore airgun then nothing at all. I'm thinking I shouldn't have mentioned the recent bear situation because it seems to be derailing the whole conversation. I'm looking for something to pull double duty as a camp gun and a deer/ hog gun. I started hunting deer in early elementary school with a 30/30 then a 30/06 and many more to follow. I collected all types of firearms. Been into archery my entire life everything from hunting to shooting 3d and spots. I made a mistake about a decade ago that leaves my only options for hunting a bow and I'm interested in airguns and I'm trying to learn about them from people who have more experience with them then I do.
Aka as your wife.Ughhhh ......
Why spend $60 on barrel droop mounts when you can bend the barrel slightly ..... and get a less expensive mount.
With all that's spent on airgun essentials - you can't overspending on everything.
This is my Financial Advisor brain speaking ..............
I would recommend a 1 piece though.
Have had one for 2 years now and I on loving it.Midwayusa has the SME target cameras on sale, so I just ordered the 1 mile version. I have no plans on going past 600yds at this point, but it will hopefully save a lot of trips down range.
