i'm looking to buy a new deer rifle for next year. i want a wood stock and blued metal. i'm having trouble trying to decide between a browning a bolt hunter and a winchester 70. also, what about the savage 11? oh yea-i'm left handed
thanks

hey shooter. go with the model 70 in 7mm wsm. Im a south-paw myself and just bought a classic featherweight in 7wsm. I love it and it shoots great. The browning is good, but pricey.

Hey what's up? My personal opinoin would be the browning. a bit more expensive but well worth it.

.300 wsm is good,but doesnt handle the heavier bullets well. If your hunting anything bigger than deer id get the 7mm as it can do pretty much anything the .300 will do. If your hunting is limited to whitetail size animals the .270 wsm is an awesome gun, a real flat shooter too [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
