Carried my CZ452 RH yesterday and there's just something about it that I don't like. (not just that it's a 17M2, RH and oddball safety)
What is out there in bolt action for a lefty, vintage or newer?

Browning offers the T-Bolt in LH configs. 22LR, 22 Mag and 17 HMR.
Others include Cooper & Anschutz.

Find an old 581 remington lefty. Very nice shooting rigs.

Did just pick up a TIkka T1x from Whittaker's. But, have a grand daughter who wants to start shooting. So, the Tikka will probably go her way in due time.

I have a LH Anschutz sporter. Really sweet. Very hard to find though.

Like the left-hand Kimber 22LR and 22 Hornet(from Clackamas days), and like the LH Anschutz in 22 LR

My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

There is no better list that I am aware of than over at Rimfirecentral a sticky under the "lefty's choice" title.

Others include Cooper & Anschutz. Are the T Bolts decent? I think so. I enjoy shooting mine. I forgot about the Remington 581, which is like the T-Bolts in that it has a LH bolt with RH ejection. It has yet to bother me. The prince of all rimfires is the Vudoo but its pricey.

T-Bolts are straight pull. The trigger needs a new spring. They are very lightweight. I wish I had got the heavy barrel version, because even it is light.
Savage is alright, but the mags are fiddly. This is the new B-series. The old Mark II is a stamped metal piece of blank.

You can't fault a Cooper. I own 5, 4 are rimfires. Buy once cry once. Take a look at Coopers web site and build up something you like and shop it around to a couple of dealers for the best price.

Can't argue that. Cooper rifles are very nice and if a guy wants to own 1 nice rimfire, that's not a bad way to go.

Not to hijack the OP's thread... Last time I swapped emails with Stiller, there was zero probability of a LH Stiller 2500 (rimfire model?) anytime in the near future. A LH Vudoo in a McEdge Hunter would be PDC to a LH TAC30 in the same stock... gears turning...

Well if ruger builds a #1 that would be my choice.
