You you can probably pick up a Savage Axis LH brand new, for less than $350. Without a scope tho….

[Culvercreek hunt club]

[ptdecoys]

@600 unless somone is selling full setup.

Check out BudsGunShop.com 

 

They have a few LH Savages in 223 from $300 and up. They have a LH Trophy Hunter XP with a Nikon scope for $500. Free shipping. You will need to ship to a FFL

Look at the Tikka and you will be very pleased for a factory rifle.

WTB: LH varmint rifle in .223

 

Looking for left hand rifle

 

What are your plans for this rifle......Walking varminter? Bi-pod gun? Sandbags from a sturdy rest?

 

Heavy barrel a must?  What are you hunting?

The reason I was asking, as a lefty you may want to consider a single shot platform. Especially if you are just setting up a varmint gun. Follow up shots may not be an issue and there are some nice single shots in that price range. My cousin had an H&R in 223 with full bull barrel. it had nice laminate stocks and you could pick up some nice high powered glass and be very close to that budget. inside 300 yards it shot right with my Encore.

Thank you for all the great answers!  I will look around and pick up a new one then!  CCHC I have TC Encore already I may just get barrel for it with nice scope for few hundred dollars instead.  Someone mentioned to me before that they make special scope just for .223 caliber, is that true?

[Lawdwaz]

No

[Culvercreek hunt club]

No

But they do make them with 223 specific BDC's

if you have an Encore that is a no brainer in my book.

 

Check this classified page out. I picked up my heavy 223 barrel on here and my 308 pistol barrel . Just watch, like any classified there are some guys that think their used is worth as much as new.

Nikon has one also.

Yes but you'd have to get it set up for one grain weight bullet I believe and what fun would that be?

I stand corrected.

 

 

Anybody own one of them? (or any caliber specific scope?)

 

Some guys are shooting 40gr bullets while others are shooting 75gr's, what about velocity differences and all the many other factors in getting it calibrated?

[Culvercreek hunt club]

Yes but you'd have to get it set up for one grain weight bullet I believe and what fun would that be?

yeah the Nikon is set for 55 gr. Or you can always get a custom scope done to you specific caliber and load.

Vortex will do that too
