I have a buddy who's not an internet guy (older) looking for one and the only one I saw recently sold for $2,600! It was a .30-06, SS LH Win. Model 70, looked almost new in box and had a Walnut stock.
From what I hear, those LH stainless steel models were only in production for about 4 years and were some of the best-built, highest quality by Winchester. The machining and production over those short years was almost all on new equipment too.
What have you seen these go for and how often do they come up for sale?
Thanks,
John
Dear John,
This has been my experience as well. I have paid on average about $1,600 for each of my LH SS Model 70s, with the most being for a NIB .270 and a slightly used 300 win. mag. at over $2,000 each. Only two of these came with scopes and neither scope was worth more than $200.
Keep looking. Else, find out who has one and pester them to sell you one- just don't ask me- I plan on keeping mine for my entire lifetime.
Best,
CL
