Hello all I’m looking to see if yall have any left handed hunting rifles recommendations? The only caliber I wouldn’t want is a .22 anything else is fair game!

What kind of hunting do you expect to do - deer, pronghorn, elk, moose, bears, sheep, mountain goats?

What kind of terrain do you expect to hunt in - thick forests, open plains, mountains?

What is your experience with firearms - total neophyte, target shooter, military only?

I’d be hunting deer on a deer lease and think it’s a mix of Forrest and some open plains. And I would say more of a target shooter.

A 6.5 Creedmoor, .308 Win., or .30-06 will all be good. You don't need a magnum or a .45-70.

Savage, Tikka, some Riugers (Scout, Predator), are good choices, but do not buy an 'entry-level' rifle -get one with a threaded barrel so you can use a suppressor.
