Savage 110 Core Predator 7mm-08 Left Hand Rifle

This Savage 110 Core Predator is chambered in 7mm-08 Remington and built as a left hand rifle. The left hand part is not a small thing. Most rifle lines offer one or two left hand chamberings as an afterthought, so a southpaw usually ends up working a right hand gun across the receiver, breaking position and losing the sight picture in the process. A proper left hand build puts the controls on the side the hand is already on.

7mm-08 Remington is one of the quietly excellent short action cartridges. It takes a 7mm bullet, which tends to carry a good shape for wind and distance, and runs it out of a short action case with recoil closer to a 243 than a magnum. That makes it a cartridge a shooter will actually practice with, and practice is what puts the bullet where it needs to go. It handles deer and antelope cleanly, stretches further than most shooters give it credit for, and is loaded by every major ammunition maker. For a left hand shooter who wants a hunting rifle that does not beat them up, this is a sensible combination.
