That certainly wasn't the intent of myself, or hopefully anyone else here.

AS I said, I had two of the WSM LH guns, and had absolutely no problems with them. They both fed great, shot good, and were solid, dependable guns.

Given the choice, I'd sure buy a LH WSM at this time, vs. a LH 70 long action (270, 30-06, 300, 338, etc.). But, most buyers see it differently, as reflected in the prices the long actions get.
