Are there any companies that make a left hand 17 rem with a 9 twist? Or, is there anyone looking to sell one?

You might take a look at Cooper.

You might take a look at Cooper. I know I'm really narrowing my options, but Cooper's out of my budget.

Maybe get an E.R. Shaw barrel and go with a Savage 223 action.?

I shoot the Fireball and if I need more distance, I'll move to a 204 Ruger.

I might have to do the build route, I'm not in a huge rush right now though. I've also considered using a right handed rifle.

That would be a great way to see if you really want to go with the 17. Lots of RH models available I would think.

They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

I know I want a lefty, but for coyote hunting a righty wouldn't be all bad. Shooting from a tripod or prone, I could keep my finger on the trigger while cycling the bolt... quicker follow up shots.

Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.

I would recommend you try it before you make that commitment. You may be moving a rifle much more than you think and a RH rifle from a prone position or from a bipod.

Shoot straight, shoot often, but by all means, use enough gun!
