Women with clevage that shoot it, will soon doff their tops. 
Benchrest shooters have had these configurations for some time now.
Picture this, your at the bench and all of a sudden the wind flags all do the same thing. Fiddeling around reaching over the scope to drop rounds into the action takes time, so a LH port solves that problem.
You might want to note these actions are usually single shots with no magazine or follower.
I'll have to check Savage to see if they are that way too.

Thankz LD,
The ad shown no model no. and I was too lazy to go through Savage's website page by page
That's it, I was thinking the empty brass (from the left port) will hit the shooter in the face
Oh! then I posted it in a wrong forum now

Hmm...while I see how some might make use of it, I personally find them useless. Some bench shooters might like left hand models to load with the left hand and at least the right in gripping the rifle. With this left port, right bolt, one has to shuffle between hands and while the rifle might be mounted, still makes little sense or advantage.
....and god forbid someone hunting with such a rifle and ever needing a followup shot hehe....'bleedin christ, I just dropped me rifle'

This is a typical set up for bench rest competitions.Winz said:
Many of the actions aree set up this way so the shooter can keep his ammo on the left side, right next to him.
He does not have to crane to see the loading port etc .However, some shooters still prefer the right side, right handed rifle action.
I prefer falling blocks , just because!!

This setup is used to shoot from a bench.
You can see directly in the chamber, loading the rifle 1 by 1 is easier and faster and empty brass are ejected on the shooter's side so it's easier to catch empty brass to reload.
My benchrest rifle is built on a remington lefty action to gain those advantages.
I don't think this setup would work well for hunting.

Yes I know...as I mentioned it in my comment about benchrest shooters. My point was that simply a left port/left action would offer all the same benefits(without having to work it all with both hands)
As for whoever said about these rifles being single shot, yes I know...but obviously my comment was a bit of a joke(that wasn't understood) should there ever be a situation where one was hunting with it, needed to load another cartridge-left hand drops one into left port, right hand works the bolt and oops the bloke dropped his rifle...

DANG!!
I'm getting slower and eveen the easiest stufff is going over my head these days!!
I am with you on this one Winz, the only thing I personally would use this for would maybe be P dogs, which I rarely get a chance to shoot!
It would be a bit of a pain to hbunt anything else with unless you were draagging a bench with you!
