Cool! Thanks guys. Yes, Southpaws have to improvise, adapt and overcome. They ain’t going to cater to 10% of the populace that are left handed.

I have the R5M long. The side lever cocking from both sides is awesome. I to am a lefty and find that most of the time I use the right side for cocking, It's a great design. It's fairly stiff out of the box but loosens up nicely after a few hundred shots. For a lefty the magazine doesn't really cause any issues. It would be nice if it was on the other other side, but not a problem at all.
I plan to get a .22 bullpup soon and am debating on the R5M standard, Lelya or go with the Vulcan 2 or the Veteran. Only two reasons I wouldn't get another EDgun, the desire for something different and they're not cheap. I don't know if either of those reason are enough to sway me.

I'm a lefty who owns a Wildcat MK1 in .25 and use it as my main gun. The stock and grip are ambi and there's no bolt, handle or mag near the rear end to rub your cheek raw. Once I shot it for the first time I never gave it a second thought...extremely comfortable. I found an interesting Airgun Depot write-up on the new MK2 series. Here's a small blurb from that article:
"A question that comes up is if the Wildcat is truly ambidextrous or not? While the cocking lever and cheekpiece are right-hand configured there is a left-handed oriented Wildcat that FX makes, but it is currently not imported into the US (though we're going to look into seeing if that can change - we love to cater to our left handed shooters!" Airgun Depot
Good Luck,

Zx10wall,
You seem to work well w/ metal & all. You can try to make a cocking handle like this for the Mutant's. I powercoated this handle. I'm thinking about stripping her & cerakoting her.
Placing a c/f sticker over the Mutant action can help keep the cold off your cheek a lil bit.
That looks great! Is that something you make yourself? Is it available for the public consumer?
I would love a lever like that.
