Say what you want about the cheek piece. It lines up the sights better. Why should he buy a gun and have to sand off the cheek piece, and then have to refinish it? The gun is very comfortable with it.
Not to mention it's not a bad copy of a Hawken. Which as you know. Had a cheek piece.
As I mentioned earlier. The Renegade is fine shooting from either side. My Renegade was a RH gun that I shot left handed, but that stock was symmetrical. The GPH isn't.
As a side note. If you put a peep sight on the gun. It gets in the way of having to reach over with your left thumb to cock a right hand hammer.
It just makes sense to buy the GPH LH gun he can get below wholesale. I like buying from that guy, because he's had those guns for awhile, and they are the older ones with the dark stain. They seem to be a better fit and finish than the ones being made now. The two that I bought were perfect in every way.
