I am left eyed and right handed. I trained myself to shoot left handed by plinking with a Red Ryder until my muscle memory took over. Now the left handed hold feels completely natural. It only took a week or so. I do not regret it a bit.
My guess is the head size is larger by a bit. In my experience in my springers head size is a huge variable and it does not take much to make a difference. I think oxidation is a build up so the head size is larger. If he has a peletizer he may find out if he has a control.
Thanks for the heads up! I bought one last night. It will be my first .177 pellet gun. I am looking forward to comparing it to my Beeman R9 and Diana 350, both in .22. Also my first purchase from AOA. I am guessing it will need a heavy pellet, I told Rich to add a couple of tins of his choice.
Y'all were nice enough to steer my to the Beeman R9 when I wanted to buy my first premium air rifle. Your advice paid off. I shoot it every day and love it. I never knew a tin of 500 H and N pellets could go so fast. I am thinking of a Diana 350 mag as my next nice rifle. Any thoughts would be...
Thanks so much for your kind responses to my question about my first quality air rifle. Can you offer any advice about refurbished rifles from places like Pyramyd Air? Am I to assume that there are a lot of problems with rifles that are also offered as refurbished?
