I’ve put a few boxes of Federal Premium 165-grain through this model, and the out-of-the-box accuracy is exactly what you expect from Savage. The 30-06 cartridge, with a barrel length of 22 inches, gives you a fantastic balance of velocity and maneuverability in a blind or thick timber. The real win here is the left-handed configuration—it just feels correct, with the bolt handle and safety positioned where your strong hand expects them. At a price point of $746.26, you’re getting a purpose-built tool, not a compromise. This rifle is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.
Who This Rifle Is For
This is built for the left-handed hunter who doesn’t want to adapt to a right-handed world. Whether you’re pursuing whitetail in the Ozarks, elk out west, or bear up north, the 30-06 is a proven cartridge capable of taking any North American big game. It’s also a solid choice for a lefty shooter looking for a durable, accurate rifle for target practice or competition in service rifle matches that allow the platform. The synthetic stock and stainless steel mean you won’t hesitate to take it out in the rain or snow.
Pros & Cons
Pros: True left-handed operation is a game-saver. The AccuStock system provides a rigid, accurate foundation right from the factory. Stainless steel offers excellent durability for all-weather use. The DBM is convenient. Savage’s AccuTrigger is user-adjustable for a clean, crisp pull.
Cons: The synthetic stock, while tough, lacks the aesthetic appeal of wood. The 4-round capacity is standard but less than some box-fed competitors. Here’s the thing—at just over seven hundred dollars, you’re paying for the left-hand machining and the AccuStock; it’s not the absolute cheapest 30-06 on the rack, but you’re buying specific functionality.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the AccuTrigger adjustable on this model?
A: Yes, it is. Savage includes a tool to safely adjust the pull weight to your preference, typically within a range that’s suitable for hunting.
Q: What scope bases does this rifle use?
A: The Savage 116 action uses a standard Savage long-action round receiver pattern. Scope bases from brands like EGW, Warne, or Leupold designed for a Savage 110/116 long action will fit perfectly.
Q: Can right-handed shooters use this rifle?
A: Technically yes, but it’s not ideal. The bolt handle is on the left side, requiring you to reach over or break your grip to cycle it. This rifle is specifically engineered for left-handed shooters.
If you’re a southpaw in need of a serious, no-excuse hunting rifle that handles the elements and delivers performance, this Savage 116FLCSS is a compelling answer. Check availability for the left-hand 30-06.
