I was contemplating selling my Browning Micro Hunter. But it has a wood stock and is in 325 WSM. It sports a Burris Short Mag scope with Ballistic Plex reticle. Would include reloading dies, any tips I have on hand and somewhere around 200 rounds of ammo if you're willing to pay the Hazmat fees. This rifle easily shoot <1 MOA with some 3 shot groups that were under 1/2 MOA with 200 gr Nosler Accubonds.
Drop me a pm if you're interested and we can discuss price.

As a "southpaw" myself I am always looking....LOL I even tend to simply buy left handed guns I come across because I can.
Tikka and Savage both seem to offer a good variety of lefty's and I have been happy with Browning as well. I have a Savage Model 10 in 308 and a Model 11 (lightweight) in 7mm-08...also have a Tikka T-3 Stainless Lite in 270 WSM that I really love! I also picked up a Browning A-Bolt Medallion in 25 WSSM a couple years ago and really like how it handles and shoots but it too is a wood stocked rifle. If yer stuck on synthetic look at Tikka and Savage in my opinion...good triggers, smooth actions, detachable mags and accurate.

Being left handed it seems I always had to adapt to the guns I had. I bought the left hand Savage Weather Warrior, accu-trigger, etc, and finally found a comfortable and excellent shooting rifle. Mine is in the .308. Must admit it did take a little time getting used to the left hand configuration after shooting right hand rifles for years.
Good luck.
Good luck.

i own a synthetic .300 winmag tikka t3 with a stainless barrel and while its not fluted it shoots wonderfully. its a very light firearm so i added a limbsaver and it does a great job of keeping my arm attached to my body.
i would guess its slightly more expensive cousin the sakko would preform admirably and does have a fluted barrel as well and deserves a look.
good luck!
