HATE being left-handed!!
It is soooo frustrating to be a left handed shooter who wants to shoot left handed rifles!
I can shoot righty's just fine...but why should I?? A left handed rifle is so much easier to cycle....you can cycle the bolt without losing sight in the scope.... I am planning to purchase a new varmint rifle...but the choices are so limited if I want to get a left handed rifle!! Im still not sure on just what caliber to go with...choices im thinking are .204 Ruger, .223 Rem, .22-250. Not really wanting the .22-250(Wife already has on that I can use whenever I want) The only manufacturer I can find that makes the .204 ruger in a left handed rifle is Tikka....I really like the T3 Super Varmint...but I really doubt I can find that in Canada...grrrrr....its really frustrating!!! Be alot easier if I had unlimited funds...then I would just calla good gunsmith and get it made!!

Whoopsy! I forgot to add that I am really not a fan of Savage Firearms
Not trying to be picky, but if Im gonna fork over a grand or two for a new rifle, im gonna get what I want Ive looked at a few Savages and I am just not happy with the way they fit, look, feel.

Yeah I looked at the SPS...if I go with a .223 its good...but if I decide I want a .204 they dont make it in left hand yet....
The R-15 would be a complete waste of money for me...First off its a right hand action...I can get an ARMS EAST LEFT HAND upper in canada! Or a complete AR-15 from Arms East all left handed! Its well built and reasonably priced! Second off since I live in Kanada ANY AR-15 derivitive is classified as RESTRICTED. While I can purchase any restricted firearms in Canada, we are very regulated on where we can use them!! In other words an AR would be mostly a safe queen! Restricted weapons can ONLY BE FIRED AT CERTIFIED GUN RANGES. Stupid isnt it?? I can buy a Mini 14 and shoot it anywhere, it is unrestricted...Also to even get the AR-15 home, or to the range I need a special permit from the police!!

Sorry about your luck, living in Canada and all. I've only just learned a few things about the "great white north" and fire arms regulations...none of it good.
As to the caliber. I've never seen a .204...but .223 is everywhere.

Yeah .204 isnt near as common! I reload so im not to worried about availability of ammunition!
If I could build on an AR platform I would be soooo happy!! I could easily make a really nice rig!! And Arms East is offering a left handed Stag-15 in 6.8SPC

And yeah, alot of our firearms regulations(Read that gun-control)are totally stupid...they do absolutely nothing to limit or reduce crime...the money used for the gun registry would have been much better spent hiring more police officers, and buying better equipment for existing police! 2 BILLION dollars and counting!!
And it didnt stop a madman from killing 4 RCMP officers in Mayorthorpe...even considering he had a LIFETIME PROHIBITION from owning guns....Stricter gun control does not keep guns out of the hands of criminals...I do believe that history has already proven that!!

I like being left handed, ya get to spend insane amounts of cash having what you want built!
     the parts in the last pic are in transformation into a 20 tac as we speak! I have several AR's all right handed, there is no issue with shooting a right handed AR left handed. and mini's can be made into very capable varmint rifles, just takes another insane amount of cash, the 2 up top are ARS conversions, the TH is a 6mm PPC, the other a 12 twist 223.

go with the tikka, the rems are a 12 twist, the tikka's are 8, better accuracy with heavy bullets and better terminal velocity with the lighter ones, and accuracy is good down to 45 gr bullets.
