To start with I am a lefty that shoots right handed bolts. Recently had neck surgery with a new metal rod from c-3 to C-7 somewhat the reason for the 6.5 CM because of reduced recoil, so I have been told.

I have been trying to do my homework on this new rifle. I was initially directed to the 6.5 CM and then others have suggested at 308 with muzzle breaks. I will probably never shoot a competition except maybe with friends. I have looked at the 12 LRP and the 10 FLCP. I do reload and know the 308 stuff is cheaper and easier to get. I have checked on trying to find the 10 FLCP but local gun shops are telling me they can't see them to order them yet.

So please chime in with advice. I have never bought or owned a savage but the out of the box accuracy has me wanting one. Others have tried to steer me to the big "R" as my rifle choice but I don't want to buy the rifle and spend another 1k on it to make it shoot for what I will be doing.


Thanks in advance
Jim
