Questions,I shoot left handed off hand,... I can reach over with my left hand to operate a right handed bolt.My questions,

can a right handed sidelever be operated in the same way?I was thinking  it would be harder because the side lever is farther away.My left has to clear the scope .....the closer the sidelever or right handed bolt is to the end of the receiver the better it is for me; I am talking multi-shot rifles.

   Better yet, are there left handed sidelevers,are bolts actions made for left handed shooting?

 BTW,I am not left handed,,butt my good eye is and I have been shooting this way for 50 years .

 I do know a Marauder bolt is easy to change to either side,what about other pellet rifles?Thank you for your input.Jesse

Jesse, Im a lefty and always struggled with guns in general because most are set up for right handed people.  A few years ago I bought a Daystate Huntsman xl in .22 that is all lefty...stock and bolt.  It was a game changer for me.  I never really shot it much because at that point I started to fizzle out of the airgun game.  Ive bought, sold and traded alot of airguns over the years but the huntsman I bought brand new and it has never left me.  Its really my last high end airgun I own.  Amazing accurate, and super quiet.  Anyways I joined the new yellow forum today because I was going to put it on the classified.  If interested let me know.  

 Thank you for giving me a solution to my question,a left handed rifle would be the thing to do.

  I just looked up the rifle you have,a very nice one it is....the thing is I would need to get a bottle or something to fill it,a new scope for it and put the Nikon spotting scope I was going to get on hold....a slippery slope for me;darn something else to think about.....

Im right handed but left eye dominant. It can be a real hassle to find a lefty compliant rifle. When you do, you will really appreciate it. I’ve settled for many right handed rifles and just put up with shooting them lefty style. Break barrels are usually fine unless the stock is exclusively handed like the AA tx rifles. I’ve gone so far as to buy a left handed uninlet boyds stock and inlet it for my D34. I made a lefty compliant stock for my HW97K also. 

Funny thing is, I enjoy a right handed action in a lefty stock while shooting from the bench. It works well. I shoot competitively in a rimfire league and right action and left stock is the best. 

Break barrels and underlevers are usually no problem. Loading port can be a bit awkward on some of the under levers. Bolt action rifles are doable as you have mentioned.  Side levers are okay if it’s a pcp. Springer and ssp rifles are different. Take for instance the FWB 300s or the FWB 600 series rifles. The 300 pulls back to cock and the 600’s hinge forward to charge. Both are easier to work with you right arm assuming you are shooting a right handed action. The Diana side levers are also easier to work with the right arm. 

Over the years, I’ve settled for too many right handed rifles because lefty’s are harder to find. I think differently today. I try very hard to hold out for lefties and I’m always glad I did when I finally procure one. 

Good luck and don’t be afraid of delayed gratification...

 Yes indeed,delayed gratification,would have saved me much money,lol.

Agree break barrel springers poise no problems,actually we who shoot from the left get use to the right handed stocks....until we  get a a real left handed rifle ..then realize what we have been missing,that said it is worth paying more for a true left handed rifle...when we intend to keep it....Ambidextrous stocks help,butt sort-of short change both righties and lefties.

If you are describing a side-lever PCP cocking mechanism, doesn’t seem like it would present much of a problem.

But cocking a powerful sidelever springer such as the Diana 48/52 series would be hard to accomplish when “crossed up” like that, I believe. Classic springer match rifles might be manageable though, especially the FWB 300S, which has a short lever that is exceptionally easy to use.

By the way, two of these older match guns, the Anschutz 220 and Diana 75, were actually manufactured in full left-handed models, with the cocking lever on the left side of the action. Wouldn’t be the easiest thing to find these days, but might be worth hunting down if that interests you.

Lefty here, and I love my FX and Vulcan rifles setup with the bolt on the right side. I grasp the pistol grip with the left hand, rifle mounted on my shoulder, and crank that lever back, shooting as quickly as a semi auto. It's smooth, and slick.  It works on my Deer rifles as as well, but I have to lift my head to retract the bolt all the way back. My Mauser bolts come waaaaay back, the Savage and Remington's, not as far.

I've right handed PB's, Semi auto's, lever's, bolts, etc.  Its not the bolt that's the problem most time, it's the hot brass. Similar story with some auto pistols- and don't get  me started on percussion muzzle loaders.

4 years with my dear Uncle Sam made me omni handed with pistols (try to get a left handed holster for a 1911 in 1977) and able to clear a room right handed with a rifle.  It's just quirky, something that's a little different. I shot the M-60 in the Nato comp for two years, right handed and left handed, depending on the berm we had to hide behind. My right handed AG shot  both handed as well when we rotated- it wasn't a big thing, just what had to be done.

I can share that I teach youth to shoot at 4-H and being able to mirror 4 position for them- facing them head on with dummy rifles or pistols, helps them see proper shooting form quickly. I guess I'm being Mr. Brightside, but its when it's a struggle to do something  that I really learn something new....

Would be nice to have a Stag Arms AR though....

I'm in the same boat as you. The bolt swap is easy to do on the M'rod, P'rod, 1701 and I'm pretty sure the 1720. I use aftermarket lefty breech's on my Disco and 2240.

The new soon to be available Crosman Fortitude looks like it has the same breech as the P'rod so I'm guessing that will also be an easy swap.

Daystate models like the Pulsar, Renegade, Wolverine and sidelever Air Wolf have ambi stocks and reversible side levers.  I'm left handed and have always stayed away from right hand bolt action rifles of any type.  However I find right hand sidelever action rifles to be no problem and even desirable.  The Vulcan sidelever guns can be swapped to either side.  I have a Taipan Mutant bullpup which has an ambi stock and reversible sidelever. I've tried the Mutant with the bolt on the left side and ended up changing it back to the right.  It is easier for me to use a pistol grip keeping my left hand on the grip and working the sidelever with my right hand.
