Nice rifle but it seems a bit pricey.

I agree. Probably why there are no bids yet. Someone will likely come along and decide they need it.

$1,200 would be a top price, IMO.

Been awhile since I've seen an LH Safari Express for sale. One sold in the classifieds here for $1800 a couple years ago. A LH Super Express sold on GB for $1550 in July. Sold one of mine last summer for $1800+. Depends on how bad you want/need it.

DF It's hard to find a nice left handed safari express though. They really put the screws to us lefties. If BACO started making left handed rifles, the prices on these New Haven's would drop..
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Wow, didn't know you lefties got treated like that. I guess it's supply and demand. My quote was generous for that gun with the bolt on the correct side...  You guys must be "high maintenance" or something...  DF

It's the left handed law of supply and demand, which is like the normal law of supply and demand only exacerbated.
If you're buying - "It's left handed, they're rare so it's really expensive!"
If you're selling - "It's left handed so it ain't worth a damn, no one wants'em!"
On the rifle in question, that's toward the high end for these but actually not ridiculous given the market. A good clean LH .30-06 or .270 will top $1000 easily.
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.
Hit the target, all else is twaddle!

Seems like a little bit of the blush has worn off LH M70 prices lately. However, for a LH M70, factory .375H&H, close to new, with the original box, $1800 is probably not out of the realm of possibility.

There have been a number of lh 70's on the auction sites lately for sure. There are 5 on Gun Broker now.

Well, the auction is now up to $3,375. These two guys keep out bidding each other.
Bad news is the current high bidder backed out of his most recent win on GB.

Wow! That exceeded my expectations by quite a bit. I figured it might touch $2K, but not $3K+. Wonder what NIB would bring. Might be time for a garage sale.

That price $3565 is getting in to Dakota price range! all is not lost I bought a CZ 550 375H&H lefty for $1700 NIB so will play with that but I will still look out for a Safari Express!
cheers
