I looked at the entire Savage inventory at Cheaper than Dirt (the worlds' largest inventory of guns, period), and they don't even list the BTVSS. You should try L'n'L and Spurlocks', and if they find what I found, either decide to settle on Bass Blo, or pick another rifle. Without the thumbhole stock, it makes no difference if the gun is left or right handed. I'm left handed, but all of my guns are either right handed or ambi, by design.
If you can't find the BTVSS anywhere else, and want to be done with "those clowns", I suggest that you take a long hard look at CZ rifles.
This one:

is almost certainly a better rifle than the Savage. Read the comments at the lower part of the page. This one is far more likely to be available.
I can't find that one either! It was the 452 left handed. This one would be a great place to start, and would probably stay with you forever:

The only diff between this and a left hand version is that you operate the bolt with the right hand. For $322, it's a great rifle.
Everything there is to know about rimfire guns of any kind is here:
