Default Any rimfires for the Southpaw.

I was wondering if there are any rimfire rifles for a left handed shooter. I dont want to spend more then $250 or so on the rifle itself. Is there anything at all? I would like a bolt action, maybe target rifle. But if there is anything i would like to know about it.

Savage (best friend of the left-handed bolt-gun shooter) makes 'em:

Someone on the Savageshooters.com forum will probably share some real-life experience:

The H&R or New england firearms single are good shooters , low priced and you can shoot it from either side ,one shot one kill.

Is there any lefty rimfires in the .17 HMR? That Savage Mark-2 Looks like a nice gun. I would like something in the HMR because i could probable use that for Coyotes and squirels. But if i cant find a lefty HMR then i would probable get the Mark-2

My brother was saying that he thought the .17 HMR would throw too small of a bullet at the coyote. I wouldnt try at anything over 100 yards because then i would use my .270. HEHEHEHE. I would like something that i could mess around with at a little longer range too. I think if i do get something i would probably get something in Savage. I really like their rimfire line.
