I am such a snob and enjoying plopping gophers with my LH Savage 64 , now they are plentiful on GB again for the whopping big price of $149 . The only LH 22 semi on the planet !
The game has changed, since you posted that. Now you can get a left hand 10-22. I was a little bit of a naysayer, until I handled one. Ruger did their homework on that rifle. A lot of great features wrapped up into 1 package.. If I didn't already have a great 10-22, I'd consider buying a lefty..
