I kept hoping for the "bear hunter" would come in lefty or at least in standard "non magnum" calibers but it never happened.
Bought a 116FLCSAK (all the available bells and whistles) in the mid 1990s and it's been a great rifle and stupid accurate. I've been waiting for another fully loaded factory deer rifle that also adds the latest bells and whistles (accustock accutrigger, and now adjustable fit) from Savage for quite a while now but it looks like most of the offerings leave us leftys wanting and the adjustable brake I like so much is also on a very limited number of offerings. For some reason I just cant bring myself to pay the "special order shop" premium to get what I want. Maybe one of these days....
Well, if/when you want one bad enough you'll pay the $ for the special order shop. That's what I ended up doing to get my LWH in .250 Savage.

It's like all the guys who used to say "If Savage offered this rifle in [insert oddball cartridge here] I'd buy one in a heartbeat." If they really wanted a rifle in that cartridge that bad they would have already ordered a custom barrel and built it themselves.
