.22 for LH Shooters

[Read1t48]

I was looking to pick up the Savage Mark II FV-SR but it's only available in a RH configuration.
Any ideas on modifications to these rifles for LH shooters or alternatives that can deliver the same accuracy in a similar price range? (over the years, I've got quite good at holding the rifle to my shoulder with my left-hand and using my right hand to work the bolt and stay on target. But... I would still prefer a LH platform).

I found an older Lakefield target in LH for cheeep a coulple of years ago....Savage bought Lakefield, the MkIIs and 93 actions are based on them and quite a few parts interchange.

I really can't think of many LH options in a "target" style for .22....maybe newer Ruger American? FWIW, that is the one and only LH gun I've ever purchased, I've always stuck with RH guns and made do...

You could get a stag arms or cmmg Left handed ar15. or build one using a left handed receiver. I am sure that goes over your budget.

I believe CZ makes a left handed bolt gun. They're a bit on the spendy side compared to other manufacturers, but CZ makes a damn fine .22

And this gun is in LH configuration?
That sounds like a nice set-up! I plan to put a vortex on top of mine. What scope did you go with?

I have been left handed for 60 years now and left handed rifles still feel weird to me. I have a few but the only one that made a real difference was left hand AR cause brass doesn't hit me.

I shoot an Anschutz M54 LH match rifle. They also make very nice LH sporter rifles.

I had a left handed .22 bolt action and sold it, now have two 10/22's a right hand savage bolt action and a ruger american .22 mag bolt action.

Browning semi-auto ejects out the bottom. Works the same for right or left.
