I tend to agree with Ken. I have had three customs built off of Lh 70s, and they were all significantly flawed from the factory. Mark Penrod said the action I sent him to build a 7 RM was 30-thou out of true, and that for whatever reason, the LH M70s that go through his shop are not nearly as true as the RH.

I still buy them when I get a good deal, and use them for my main hunting guns, but I have no idealist delusions about their quality.
