Lefty! Awesome. I have a heavy barrel lefty savage 17HMR, its incredibly accurate. Sadly I bought it the year before they put the accu-trigger in them. Trigger is ok... I've kicked around getting an upgrade trigger sear.

You got to love those .22s
You got that right. Especially with ammo prices. After the big run on ammo after Sandy Hook, when that ended there were some good deals on 22lr so I bought several cases of copper jacket hollow points, Winchester and Federal. I wondered if I was making a mistake but now in hindsight, I wish I bought a pallet (I know a guy who bought 2 pallets of 22lr... lmao).

My son is also left handed and this is the same gun I picked up last year for my son. It's a pretty good shooter. It definitely shoots better than he can still.
My 93R17 is a lefty heavy barrel varmint'er. Its way more accurate than you would guess it to be.

For leftys and semi-auto's, look into the Browning SA-22. It ejects out the bottom so its great for right or lefties. There is a wide range of prices according to grade though, the price of a Grade V Belgium might give you pause, LOL!

You can also find the Chinese copies called a Norinco ATD. They are caught up in the Chinese gun import ban, but there were alot imported before the ban (and alot slip across the border from Canada where they were really cheap).

I've bought them for as cheap as $80. I have the SA-22, both my wife and son have ATDs. The overall design is great, and the ability to remove the barrel from the action is great for packing it. Good reliable guns if you clean them semi-often.
