I currently own a 12 gauge shotgun and a 22 rifle.
I am looking for a big game rifle with a scope.
lever or semi, (preferably semi auto) as I am left handed and bolt actions do not work well for me.
I am new(ish) to firearms and hunting so any tips would be appreciated, or a link to a good deal that fits my description in the exchange forum.

Good luck finding a left-handed semi.....I'd go for the lever or a left-handed bolt if I were you.
 
I dont mind having to #### once a little backwards, and dont wanna have to spend an extra couple hundred just to get the bolt on the other side of my gun.
 
I've seen a few lefties on tradeex for a decent price...search around, you shouldn't have to pay too much for a lefty.

I'm ambidextrious, and often shoot my LE left handed...you get used to it.

I'd be more worried about the spent brass flying across in front of my face.
 
ive worried about that also but ask my instructor, also my uncle, and he said they shoot forward while they eject not just sideways

As I said I cant find any, which is why I asked you guys. If it is simple, I would appreciate a link. sorry for the noob-ness just really want one

Personally, as you are a left-handed shooter, I'd recommend a LH bolt or a lever long before a semi auto unless you feel you really have a need for a semi auto.
 
Given your location and left handedness, I suggest a Remington 7600 in 270Win.

They are accurate, reliable, suitable for lefties and the 270 works well in the caliber restriction areas in S. Ont. That rifle/cal combo is VERY popular in Ont.
