I shoot left handed and 23 years ago I didn't have a lot of money but I had a 30-30 savage 110 that got a lot of deer with open sights. It was a right handed gun. When I was deciding what caliber I was going to use I read in a Hornady reloading book that a 7MM REM MAG would take anything from a varmit to a moose. That did and the I started looking for brands. All my friends had Remingtons, Rugers, And Winchesters and was trying to get me to buy one of those. I said the gun I buy is going to be hunted and I know me and it would deffinatly get buggered up. Anyway for a left on the Savage at that time was only $45.00 more than a right handed while Rem. and Win. wanted $100.00 more.
I ordered the gun, Tasco scope, Rings, RCBS Dies, and 3 boxes of REM. cheap shells to zero scope in with and use the casings for the price of a left handed rifle in the other brands. Savage's are truly a sleeper in the gun world. This thing has never let a deer get away. My friends says it has a heat seeker. I better knock on wood!!!!! To this day with 154gr. Hornady round nose on top of 62gr. IMR 4831 will still shoot 1 in. groups 5 shoot at 100 yds. Not to pretty and I'm glad I didn't buy one of those pretty ones 23 years ago. Try one just make sure it has the accu trigger. Hearing a lot of great things about that feature. I had to have a gun smith fix mine on the older style rifles.
GOOD LUCK
Benny
