I have left hand Savages in both calibers. My favorite deer cartridge is the .25-06. It is a laser beam with bullets in the 100 to 120 grain weight. The recoil is light and the trajectory is flat. I sight in at 2 inches high at 100 yards and have a 250 yard zero. From the muzzle to 300 yards just aim and shoot without having to think about trajectory. I have never had a deer move more than five steps before dropping. Usually they just drop in their tracks.
