So far I have owned four. All were lefthanded and stainless steel. Two were made into 458 Lotts, one is being made into a 35 Whelen and the last one is sitting in my safe for a yet unnamed project.
They may require some polishing if you are getting them blued but all the stainless actions I have are reasonably smooth and continue to become smoother as I use them.
If Win made leftie stainless rifles I would most likely stay with them but they dont. They make a great place to start a rifle build but I would not use them for a short magnum rifle. Like others have said, they are a wee bit heavy.
