Ruger 77 Hawkeyes were made in blued and stainless but are also very scarce, especially since they only made about 20 of the stainless ones ever, although you can find a stainless guide gun model now and then. Tikka made a LH .223 off and on but twist rates could be a surprise - 8, 10 or 12 depending on model and when it was made.

Here's a NIB Ruger American which should be a good shooter; a bit overpriced IMO but today's market is wonky so "reasonable" prices are hard to figure.

I actually have that ^^^^^^ rifle on a watch list. Have also been thinking about a LH bolt action .223. However, as noted, there aren't that many available. And the ones that are, are not inexpensive...
