Long time away, gents, but I'm back because I need to start looking at a varmint rifle build.

I'm giving my daughter my left hand mini mauser as a hunting rifle, and I've taken up handguns for wood work, so I need to come up with a solution for a varmint rifle.

Here's my wish list.

223 or 223 AI, fast twist, for heavy bullets. Looking at a short barrel (20 or 22)

Prefer a detachable mag, and if possible, different sizes (1 a flush mount, and a larger one for getting busy)

Left hand bolt.

Part of me says I should look at an AR, and I just might, but I'm just wondering what my Savage bolt options are these days.

Thanks
