I'm a lefty and a fresh convert to the Savage 111 cult.

I hunted with a BAR for a lot of years.   Being lefty was no big deal with that, and the flip door didn't bother me.

But my new 111 shoots way better than my BAR ever did.   

With a sample size of 1 each, I'm now convinced that Savage is the way to go.       :tup:   

Do you know if the Savage 111 comes in a wood stock?

I can attest to savages capabilities.  I'm a lefty and purchased a lefty savage 110 in .270 last year and it shoots very well.  Haven't had an issue yet putting down various animals.  mines woodstock

I've had to use a righty rifle for I don't know how many years......I got so used to shooting with a righty in the Marines that it transferred over to civvie life and after all these years I finally bought a lefty rifle and i was a little puzzled and had to retrain myself on the new adjustments. :chuckle:  At first I shot better the old way but, after many rounds I still shoot the same tight groups but, actually using a lefty rifle for a lefty shooter. :chuckle:  so now i'm just as good shooting both as well. :tup: :chuckle:

I just  got a lefty tikka lite in .270.  I'm a fan.  I like the trigger and it's about .5-.75 pounds lighter then most of the competitiors at 6.3 lbs.  Which makes a difference if you plan on carrying it a ways.

Could have been an M24 sniper rifle...

I am left handed and have two savage guns. They are some of the most accurate guns out of the box and the price is excellent. I won't shoot any  thinks else for factory guns.
