I'll bet you end up really liking the 7mm08. Anything in that neighborhood should be excellent.

Savage does make them, left-handed, in bolt action.

The BLR is actually a bolt action rifle, with a mechanism to operate the bolt using a lever. They are very accurate. Conventional lever actions generally are not quite as accurate. Automatics are also typically not as accurate as bolts, though they are more ambidextrous.

I didn't know that the 7600 was a pound heavier than the BLR. That will make a difference. Dutch has a side-by-side comparison. If his wife grabs the BLR, then that sort of settles that issue.

My grandson also has crossed dominance, right handed, but left eyed. Couldn't figure out why he was having so much trouble learning to shoot right handed... switched him to left, and he had a better time of it.
