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...

there is a LH Annie 1416 on gunbroker right now. 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.

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

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.

Horse traded into an LH CZ 452 today. Definitely a bucket list gun for me.
Now, what rings and scope to apply......
Bore size is no substitute for shot placement and Power is no substitute for bullet performance. 458WIN

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.
