Favorite left handed YOUTH model?

Any of you guys have a favorite left handed youth model bolt gun?
My son shares my curse and I have vowed never to buy him a right handed bolt gun. I grew up as the only lefty in my house and had to shoot right handed guns and looked forward to owning a left handed bolt gun more than Christmas.

Remington makes a nice 700 Youth in 7mm/08 and .243Win. (I like .243 but I'm torn since at 20", the .243 will lose a bit of what makes it a great cartridge.)

Any other recommendations for left handed youth bolt guns?

I put a Timney Trigger spring in it and it shoots very well.

I have a 22-250 in the micro and with my handloads it shoots extremely well,,until the barrel gets hot. I hear the 22 hornets are exceptional in the accuracy area also

My Hornet is very accurate. Almost any of the Browning micros in the short calibers will serve as a youth rifle. I also have lefty micros in 25 WSSM and 300WSM. The 25 could be loaded down now with lighter bullets and souped up once he grows.
