Snowwolfe, ok, misuse of words on my part,
I'm just not sure what it is your trying to say,
I would expect any .300 mag with a wood stock(?) a 26 inch barrel plus scope and all to be 'heavy', you were likely over 9lbs, are there other lighter .300 mags? Probably,
just not sure why inferring Winchesters are inferior because of weight, whats the weight on a .308 featherweight? still no good rifles?
Then the confusion on differences between stainless and blued,
which was lighter?
which shot better?
lefty stainless no good but blued lefty was better?
I have no doubt someone had 'some' rifle that wasn't their favorite,
but post a LH stainless on GB and watch the bids get crazy, In my opinion, the highest resale value of any production rifle.
point being, the vast majority seem to really love these rifles.....
YMMV. out.
