My first and only rifle was a new lefty Rem 700 CDL in 270. A pre buyout rifle from circa 2002. Still shoots like a dream.
Just now looking for a new rifle in a magnum caliber and am underwhelmed to say the least. For sub $1000 rifles what are we looking at?
I handled a Tikka and did not get the warm and fuzzy at all - no tikka for me. Grouping was not different from my 270 and it just felt like a toy.
Steel barrel, synthetic, 300 win or 7mm mag, left hand are needs. Rifles that I can actually find for sale:
Savage 110 Storm - front runner
Savage 116 - same as storm? No accu stuff.
Ruger Hawkeye FTW Hunter - boat anchor with mauser action?
Tikka t3x lite
Remington SPS - blued barrel, not sure on quality.
????
Remington and Winchester seem to have given up on lefties. Browning is giving us walnut and blued metal. What else?
