not trying to sway your decision, but have you seen the Savage Lefthands they have? they have that weather warrior series (stainless barrel) in lefthand that has quite a selection of calibers......270, 06, 7rem, 300 win and 338!! I really like the look of them, and think that will be my next LH bolt. go on Savages web site and just give em a look, they are some accurate shootin rifles.
