The new staggered mag cures the "problems" of the rotaries in .308 and Creedmoor based cartridges.
I might like a Howa if they acknowledged I existed, but since they don't, I'll patronize Ruger, Tikka and others who make left-hand rifles. I might even slum another Savage, but that would be a hard pill to swallow.
With you on this.
I'd pick up that Howa Alpine (the lightweight with HS stock) in a NY minute if they'd throw the "mirror image" switch.
Oh, have a RAR 308. Shoots great, no mag drama for me. Wish the safety locked the bolt.
