Being a lefty I am a big fan of Savage rifles and the model 16 in particular. I have or have had probably eight or nine LH model16's, most in prairie dog calibers. If you like to tinker, you can change barrels yourself with just a couple of tools and a headspace gage. I don't think there is a Remington, Winchester or Ruger that can match a Savage for "out of the box" accuracy.
