I need to get me a left handed bolt action 30.06. Been wanting one for a while now and I can finally swing it financially, just need to decide on which a brand: Remington, Stevens, and Savage are on my radar.
The Rem 700 is a classic, but what do I get over a Stevens? Is the 700 worth the extra money? |

Quoted:
My personal preference for bolt action rifles is: Winchester Model 70 Remington 700 Savage 110/10 Ruger 77 Everything else Having said that the Savage Model 16 I own shoots just as well as my Remington PSS at half the price. Make your own decision. my father and brother both have ruger 77s and both performed very well over the past 25 years. not really a fan of the savage quality. |

If you are going to have ONE hunting bolt gun, spend a few extra $$ and get the rem CDL.
There isn't anything wrong with the Savage or Ruger,but the 700 is sure nice. 
And before any fanboys get upset,I have eamples of all three brands sitting in the safe,and I like them all! |
I would definitely choose this over the remington.
| I have a Custom Left hand Rem 700 in 30.06 and I clover leaf shot @ 200 yards. I have a left hand Savage as well in .243 I like both Rifles. Love the trigger on the Remington. Accutrigger takes a little shooting to get used too, but is smooth and gets me backstraps. Can't go wrong with either. |

i have left handed savage 110 in 30-06. it does me just fine. more accurate than i am. dinged, scratched, generally ugly and less expensive than the 700. i'm more than satisfied. my only regret was the caliber, should have gone with .308 for the shorter action.
