This thread started with a group of 11 Left Hand Win M70 rifles out of their custom shop. All built by/for one of the lead engineers for the Classic series, who happened to be Left Handed. Consecutive S/N's. Originally offered last year, as a group for $70K. Then price dropped to $60K. Now offered on GB individually. IF the seller had started off at a reasonable price two years ago, before the market went soft, they may have had a chance to sell as a group. Agree with tmitch, don't think they are going to do too well in current market with current prices. The .270 has a bit of nice grain pattern to it. The wood on the rest are seem pretty unremarkable to me. The .35 Whelen might be interesting given that it was not a production offering. Hopefully link works: Link to LH Custom Shop M70's

It took quite a while for them to realize they weren't going to sell the set. They were at 75K around 2 years ago. Always thought it would be a cool set to have, but the price was out of line.

The .375H&H and the .35 Whelen both sold the first go around. The only remaining chambering that interests me is the .270 Win. There would be a certain amount of "pride of ownership" to be able to say "This is the first Left Hand .270 that Winchester ever made." ... But, not $4,000 worth...

I do believe the M-70 25-06 is gone as well.
