If you had an opportunity to purchase one in excellent condition, would you? I look at one today and I am thinking about it. Don’t need it but I do think it’s cool. Let me know what you think.
Savage 110 PCS .308

It is interesting looking....

Bolt action with a 10 round magazine. Threaded barrel and the capability to have a pistol brace attached.
Looks like a modern version of the old Remington XP-100
I like Handguns, used to Hunt and Target Shoot with one...looks interesting, bet it has one hell of a muzzle blast.
Bought one of these: Crickett Adult Pistol 22 WMR (22 Mag) 10.5in Stainless Steel Pistol - 1 Round For Sale - Crickett Firearms
Neat and worthless at the same time...accurate enough, good sights, right handed with a left hand bolt....at least it was cheap.
T/C was a bid thing with more barrel and caliber options than damn near anything made, people loved them, and then they fell out of favor to the point S&W "gave" the Company back to the previous owner...from what I understand they're going back into production.

A bit silly perhaps, unless you have a very special purpose; However, if you can afford it and it brings you any joy.. life is short.

Do I need it? No. Do I plan to buy it? Hell yes. Don’t own anything like it. Best reason I can think of.

Works for me!
Bought plenty of things "just because"...don't need a .458 Win Mag to hunt with, but if one comes along...

I have a Savage Striker in .308 , 3 shot bolt action it's tack driver . Smash golf balls at 100yds off of a bench .
Is that a left handed bolt?
That one appears to be.

A right handed gun has the bolt on the left side. This is so you can keep your right hand on the grip and trigger. I thought it was a left handed gun too until I looked closer.

You will love it , if is anything like the old Strikers it will be a tack driver.
Yo
Manufacturers make Right hand guns have the bolt handle or port on the right side, and left hand guns with left side. For many years they have charged a premium for the left hand configuration.
the right hand gun ejects spent brass to the right so it doesn’t go across the body of the shooter and same with the left hand gun.
Being a southpaw with a right hand gun means the ejection port is on the same side as your face and the brass ejects across the body.
While you may be right in a practical sense, a left handed person operates a right hand bolt with quicker follow up shots because they use their right hand to manipulate the bolt. However they must lift their face away from the stock to prevent the bolt from hitting them in the cheek.

You explained it better than I could. Thanks.

It may be bolt action, but that threaded barrel and the "capacity to accept an ammunition magazine that attaches to the pistol outside the pistol grip" makes it look too scary for anyone in NY to own!
