Other options for lefties

Lever actions: the Henry H001 ejects to the side and works from either shoulder ^[8]. See Henry lever .22 guide.
Right-hand bolt run from the left: many left-handed NRL22 shooters run right-hand bolts by reaching over the top.
Semi-autos: ejection is to the right, but there's no bolt to reach. See semi-auto builds.

Accessories

Bipods and bags are ambidextrous; see bipods and bags. For chassis, look for a left-hand inlet specifically: chassis builds.
