When it comes to reaching across a Missouri bean field or taking a steady shot from a rocky Western ridge, this Savage 116 is engineered to deliver. The 7mm RemMag cartridge is a renowned flat-shooting round, capable of taking down elk, mule deer, and other large game at distances where other calibers start to drop significantly. The rifle’s total weight, typically around 7.5 lbs. unscoped, balances the heavy-hitting cartridge with manageable carry weight for all-day hunts. That said, the real advantage for southpaws is the dedicated left-hand action—no more reaching over the rifle or adapting your stance. It fits out of the box for the shooter it was built for.
Who This Rifle Is For
This model is specifically designed for the left-handed hunter pursuing medium to large game at medium to long ranges. It’s for the shooter who values the durability of stainless steel in variable weather and the practical speed of a detachable magazine. If your season involves whitetail in the Ozarks, pronghorn on the plains, or a western elk hunt, this rifle is a purpose-built tool. At $583.26, it represents a significant value in a dedicated left-hand, magnum-caliber platform.
Pros & Cons
Pros: True left-handed operation increases safety and speed. Corrosion-resistant stainless steel construction ensures long-term reliability. The AccuStock and AccuTrigger systems provide a solid, accurate foundation right away. The 7mm RemMag offers excellent ballistic performance for North American big game.
Cons: The 7mm RemMag has noticeable recoil, which requires proper technique and may not be ideal for new shooters. Ammunition cost is higher than standard calibers like .308 Winchester. The synthetic stock, while durable, may not have the aesthetic appeal of a wood stock.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the AccuTrigger really adjustable without a gunsmith?
A: Yes. The Savage AccuTrigger is designed for safe, tool-free adjustment by the user. A simple adjustment key lets you set the pull weight within a specified range to match your preference, providing a clean, crisp break that enhances accuracy.
Q: What optics mount is compatible with this rifle?
A: The Savage 116 action comes drilled and tapped for a standard scope base. It accepts common Savage 110 pattern bases from brands like Weaver, Leupold, and EGW. You’ll need to pair it with a robust scope capable of handling the 7mm RemMag’s recoil and your intended shooting distances.
Q: What is the magazine capacity?
A: This model typically comes with a 3-round detachable box magazine (plus one in the chamber). This is standard for magnum-caliber hunting rifles and aligns with magazine restrictions in many states. Aftermarket options may be available for different capacities where legal.
