Savage Mark II GLY Youth .22 LR Left-Hand 19in 10rd

If you’re looking for a youth-sized .22 that actually fits a left-handed shooter, the Savage Mark II GLY Youth .22 LR Left-Hand 19in 10rd is a solid, no-nonsense choice. This bolt-action rimfire pairs a scaled-down hardwood stock with a 19-inch sporter barrel and Savage’s adjustable AccuTrigger, so your young lefty can learn good habits without fighting a right-handed stock. It comes with a detachable 10-round box magazine, adjustable iron sights, and a receiver drilled and tapped for optics. For the price, this is a purpose-built training rifle that grows with the shooter.

Key Features

• Left-Handed Stock and Action: The stock is cast for a left-handed cheek weld, and the bolt handle is on the left side. Why it matters: Your shooter won’t have to reach over the action or fight a right-handed comb, which means faster follow-ups and better accuracy from day one.
• User-Adjustable AccuTrigger: Savage’s AccuTrigger lets you dial in pull weight from about 2.5 to 6 pounds without tools. Why it matters: A crisp, consistent trigger builds confidence and accuracy, especially for a new shooter learning sight alignment and breath control.
• 19-Inch Sporter Barrel: Lighter and handier than a heavy varmint barrel, but still accurate enough for small game and plinking. Why it matters: It keeps the rifle balanced for a youth shooter while delivering the reliability .22 shooters expect.
• Drilled and Tapped Receiver: The receiver comes pre-drilled for scope bases, and the barrel has a dovetail for tip-off mounts. Why it matters: You can mount a red dot or rimfire scope without a gunsmith, making it easy to transition from irons to optics as skills improve.
• Adjustable Iron Sights: Rear sight is adjustable for windage and elevation right out of the box. Why it matters: You can start shooting immediately without buying extra gear, and it teaches the fundamentals of sight alignment before adding a scope.

Who It’s For

This rifle is built for left-handed youth shooters—kids and smaller-framed adults who need a rifle that fits them, not the other way around. It’s perfect for teaching marksmanship basics, backyard plinking, squirrel hunting, or introducing a lefty to the shooting sports without the frustration of a wrong-handed stock. If you’re a dad, mom, or grandparent looking for a first rifle that won’t be outgrown in a year, this is it.

Pros and Cons

• Pros: True left-hand stock and action; AccuTrigger is a legit upgrade over most youth rifles; lightweight and easy to carry; accepts optics readily; under $300 retail.
• Cons: The factory trigger is good but some shooters prefer an aftermarket unit for competition—though for a youth trainer it’s more than adequate. Also, the fixed stock means you can’t adjust length of pull, so measure your shooter before buying.

How It Stacks Up

The CZ 457 Scout is a beautiful rifle with a single-set trigger, but it’s right-hand only and costs almost twice as much. The Ruger American Rimfire Compact offers an adjustable stock, but again, no left-hand version. For a left-handed youth shooter, the Savage Mark II GLY is the only option in this price range that actually fits properly.
