The best way to hunt something up is to post a WTB ad in the classifieds after you've participated here long enough to receive PMs.

I bought my Classic Stainless Model 70 375HH for 869.99 at K-Mart before it went out of business here in Fairbanks. It is a great rifle and would be a heavy favorite for Kodiak.

Nothing better than the hunt for a rifle... Good luck
I picked up a Stainless Classic the looks damn near new at a sporting good store this year for 7 bills.

I have found a few classics but not exactly what I’m looking for. I would gladly pay 7 bills for one though.

It’s fun reading these older posts and seeing what changes are happening in the market.
In the last couple of Alaskan gun shows I have visited this month I saw half a dozen pre 64 M70’s going for $600-800 and G series stainless M70’s priced between $1500-2000 !

That is a bit topsy turvy. Go figure. Guess my Pre-64's took a hit, now sorta extra proud of my M-70 SS .375, G series. This market can get pretty fickle. DF

There are a lot of pre64 M70 in Alaska, it is the official state rifle ! And Alaskans really enjoy the stainless G series rifles

But, you'd think that could affect the total market, as guns can be shipped about anywhere in the country. I understand it may cost more, shipping to AK, but if the price gradient is big enough, shipping should take care of itself. DF

I like the G series stainless 375 H&H's. I have two favorites of these, one still in 375 H&H with a different stock, sling stud barrel band, different bottom metal, and barrel cut to 22". The other is a re-barrel to 416 Remington, 22" barrel, barrel band sling stud, and different stock. The 416 barrel is basically the same contour as the factory issue.
The Ruger versions of both calibers has severely limited my field time with these M70's. Though, I do still like the rifles. I have another that I may eventually turn into a 458 Lott.
