    Left handed pathetic caliber selections

    Hey guys,

    So just a little rant and question about what the heck Savage is doing to us southpaw shooters... I just looked at their website today to see what options I had to choose from if I wanted to buy a new rifle instead of tearing apart my 30-06.

    Why is it that Savage will chamber just about every new caliber that has hit the market in right hand bolt (Like the 6.5 PRC, 300PRC, .280AI), but they won't chamber it for the southpaw side; They just chamber the same old lame generic calibers that have been around since the beginning of man. WTF??

    Do they think we don't want those new choices because we're left handed??

    In a sense, they are making us tear apart their rifles, and custom building them to get the same option the right handed shooters do.

    WHY?????? It's the same barrel that goes on the right handed action... How hard is it to screw one on a left handed action?

    That's a shame. I really like my 280ai and 6.5 PRC. It would be a shame to not have them as an option.

    I'm a lefty as well, I have just adapted to shooting right handed firearms left handed and it really doesn't cause me any grief but I would imagine the left handed market isn't big enough for them to offer a wide selection of left handed firearms. Just my guess

    Unfortunately I have nerve damage in my right hand and running the bolt is not efficient from the right side. I understand they may have limited models they offer for us lefties, but if they offer it in left hand, and are screwing a .308, .270, 30-06, 7mm Mag, 300 WM barrel on, then they should offer it in the other calibers too. They'd do better to get rid of all the old calibers and offer them only in the new calibers.

    Just makes no sense...

    This is BS! I'm going to start protesting immediately! With you guys helping we can make this a national issue. LHRCM. Left Hand Rifle Chamberings Matter will demand newer better cartridges! We can burn this place down if they don't meet our demands!!!!! For those of you that want to donate, I can setup a GoFundMe for LHRCM. Let me know.

    Yeah. They are. My brother is, but I still love him and try to help him to function just like a normal human.

    Such a trooper. {sniff}
