I would agree with Bowhunter only from what I've read and heard about the good OLD model 70. But being a southpaw, I have no experience with it (Unfortunately). However, in left hand bolts, I like the Savage for its out of the box accuracy but overall I like the Browning A bolt. Especially in the MicroHunter. Its light, fast, comes in potent chamberings and has that 60 degree bolt throw and a bolt handle that works for me.
