[QUOTE="sambo3006, post: 380456, member: 2740"] If you are right eye dominant by all means learn to shoot right handed. I'm sure that you have to close your right eye in order to shoot a LH rifle, either that or "cross over" the stock with your neck and head to align your right eye behind the scope. Either method is not conducive to consistent shooting. If you close your right eye you are most likely also squinting your left eye somewhat which will change the shape of the eye lens and blur your focus. As to your other question, Savage does indeed have a reputation for out of the box accuracy, as does the Tikka T3. I would stay away from the new bargain priced Savage, can't remember the name of it right now but it is replacing the Stevens 200. Remingtons generally shoot very well as do many other brands. Spending more of your budget on the scope than the rifle will probably produce a more accurate precise rig. Best of luck and welcome to LRH! Sam [/QUOTE]
