Where are all the quality Lefty 22's ?

I can't find a CZ 452 American, Tikka hasn't released them yet, and Annie quit making the 1416 model. I'm stuck with butt ugly Savage or 9.5 lb Begara's. I can't believe they've left the Lefty's out in the cold with a simple rimfire.

A LH CZ 452 just ended on GB a few days ago. Not common. But, they are out there if you watch for them...

Yes I looked at it, appreciate the heads up....it has a burn mark or something on the stock, the owner can't explain it, says he thinks it's filler.

In todays market, that's not a bad deal even with the "beauty mark". Hard to be 100% with the pictures but it doesn't look like the finish's been disturbed so maybe came that way. If I wanted a nice LH .22 to shoot, it certainly wouldn't bother me. I have one almost identical and I sure wouldn't sell it for $800.

Did Browning stop selling T-Bolts? I like mine.

I have a LH 22LR Kimber Custom Classic and really like it. I also have the same rifle in 22 Hornet.

They can be hard to find but they are great rifles.

+1 for the T-Bolt. I purchased one new last year. They are definitely still in production.

I have T-Bolts in 3 calibers and a Belgian made T-Bolt, all left handed. They are very well made and accurate.

I sold all my T Bolts about 7 years ago. It really bothered me the ejection port was on the right side of the action with a direct shot to my face and eyes. Yes, they were all accurate and reliable. But I consider them to be unsafe to shoot for a lefty.

As a lefty, I understand what you are saying. I haven't had that issue yet so I'll continue to shoot mine.

Horse traded into an LH CZ 452 today. Definitely a bucket list gun for me.

Now, what rings and scope to apply......

Man I'm thankful to have come across my lefty 452. Blessed. Just picked up an S&W 41 target pistol to go with it. What a perfect pair.

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 !

Scheels had a lefty Mark II for a whopping $119.00 a few years back on the used rack. It’s my go to 22, and excels in red squirrel control. I would definitely consider a lefty model 64.
