I just pickup my Mark II Savage. The trigger is extremely nice, wood and metal fit and finish is good. The barrel is floated.

Hopefully it is a good shooter.

Good to hear! Yes, please let us know how it shoots.

I just ordered a left handed Savage B22. I’ve been trying to get one for a long time and missed a few that came up on the auction sites. Looking forward to seeing how it shoots.

I just bought a LEFT HAND Ruger 10/22 Competition, NIB, for about $1250, all in. Can't wait to receive it from my FFL. Super excited.

I had been looking for one for over 3 months, with 4 backorders placed. Crazy times.

After I bought it, I told the FFL my story and the FFL basically said, "...yeah it's a very nice rifle, we can order another for you since you are excited about it." I said something like, "Try to. They're very limited production (500 in the first and maybe only run) and in demand and definitely call me back if you can get another." She sounded surprised yesterday afternoon when she called me back as there were none left at their distributors and none in their dealer network. That's when I told her she could have probably received $1500+ for the rifle had she put it up for auction!

Shot it this past weekend, at 30 yards resting against a post with iron sights it is definitely minute of squirrel.

Shot an armadillo with it yesterday evening.

Mike does it feed as it should ?

I shot only 50 rounds but they all fed fine.

The bolt was not very smooth, I lubed it with a little Pro-Shot and it is much better.

It only comes with one magazine. I found three more for $80, almost 1/3 the cost of the rifle.

I've got a Savage Mark II. It has a banana style magazine------I wish they still made them with tube feed.

I picked up a Kimber Classic this summer, my first LH 22. I can’t believe I haven’t got to shoot it yet but I’m hoping to soon.

I have shot a few rounds through the Savage Mark II.

Used four different magazines today. Not a single fail to feed or extract. Norma ammo. Shoots where you point it.

I'm a lefty myself, as my young son is and pops was.
I grew up shooting mostly lever rifles as it seemed to be dads compromise for being left handed.
Today, I'm still shooting the browning BL 22 I received as a gift back in 1982/'83. My son is learning on it also today.
I love the idea of the bottom ejection on Browning's semi auto 22. Ambidextrous feature that's for sure. Neither the BL 22 or SA 22 from Browning is a low cost gun though.
I also wouldn't hesitate to purchase Ruger 10/22 sportster being a lefty.
