[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 2558103, member: 12443"] I bought my first Savage bolt gun in 1960. It was a lefty version in 3006. I was and still am greatfull to Savage for for being the first in considering us leftys as normal people deserving of a lefty action. I have at this time 5 lefty Savages, but nothing larger than a 3006. I was untill recently an active member of the Savage site for quite awhile. There have been several long discussions over there regarding the use of Savage actions with large cartridges, like the 338 Lapua for example. The in house guru over there is a guy by name of Fred, who is a gunsmith in Ohio who specializes in Savages. He uses the name Sharpshooter on that site, which is also the name he uses for his company. He is also a record holding varmint class bench rest shooter, using a tuned Savage actions. But the guru named Fred, dosent think Savage actions are up to handling the larger cartridges, and he explains why he feels that way. Of coarse there are those over there who argue with him about it. If you go to that site, you will find what they call a (sticky) regarding using those actions for those type cartridges. [/QUOTE]
