Savage makes a pretty good rifle, especially for the price. They do NOT charge a premium for their left handed guns. Their "package" guns (come with a scope, but no iron sights) are normally a pretty good deal.
I got mine in 30-06, but if I were doing it again I might go .308. .308 can be had in a shorter action, w/ a shorter bolt throw. 30-06 can be loaded up a little heavier, for a real heavy bullet (Grizzly Bear -- I don't want to mis-quote loading data so I'm leaving the numbers off).

If you're dumping a lot of money into it for accuracy, you can wring more accuracy out of the .308 (smaller case, less air, more uniform burn, the same smaller case that limits your powder for the heavier bullet that the 30-06 can use). For an off the rack hunting rifle I certainly wouldn't see the difference.
