[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 1574248, member: 12443"] Well ive been left handed for almost 84 years and have been hunting for over 70 of them. And beyond that for 50 of those it's been strictly long range using heavier guns from a bench. There simply is no "good" all round gun, so plan on having several. From a bench, I actually prefer a right side bolt with the loading port on the left. So some of my guns are right handed guns for that reason, and that includes the ones I use for Prairie Dogs. The walking around type guns are lefty bolts, with a few being Rem 700s, and a few being Savages. As for twist, and even the cartridge, I wouldn't worry about that as id be swapping that out anyway for what I want. Do some research on Savage and Remage barrel swaps. Join the Savage Shooter site and ask some questions there. If I were younger or starting over id probably get serious about a nice used lefty Weatherby Mark V, and that would be the foundation for cartridges like a 300 Norma, or a 338. I do have a righty, in an 18# 300 Norma. [/QUOTE]
