Yep, guilty as charged. LH Colt Sauers don't come around every day LOL. Saved for close to a year and bought the action first. Then I had to save for 6 mos to pay for that custom thumbhole stock and waited another 6 mos for it to be completed. I took it out a few times and killed a couple of deer with it. Weight wasn't an issue for me back then (young and dumb) but now 25 years later, that rifle is worth at least 3 times what I paid for it even though it's not nor will it be for sale. For now, it's happy in the safe. It gets out every couple of months to get lubed and at least once a year to the range. When I get older and do that 'box stand' type of hunting, it will probably go out with me again.
