hey guys and girls my name is joe . I am from lyme ct (yes where lyme disease came from) I am a new savage owner . I have always been a Remington man.i am left handed and I couldn't pass up a left handed 308. Remington only offers a 308 in a varmit gun. I had a 110 30/06 when I was a kid. I just bought a model 11 trophy hunter xp 308.
