G177xxx I think these were produced sometime between 1997 and 2003. John

Bluefish - if it's walnut/blued (and not super grade) RH M70s from various eras lately seem to sell in the $800-900 range, assuming it's in like new condition, with original box, etc. The more used it looks the more I think you'd slip down into the $700-800 range. LH could hurt or help... depending on whose shipping when you list.
Scope - I'm far from an expert (just follow the classifieds and GB), but 2k would seem to be a pretty big ask even for a stainless, LH version with the scope included...

Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

The hardest L/H Winchester model 70 to find in the standard bolt face is the 270 Winchester. The only short action model 70’s I seen were the one chambered in the WSM’s. Your lefty in the 06 same price I mentioned already. On gunbroker probably go close to 2 grand. Winchester will never make a L/H model 70 again so what’s out thier is highly sought after.

The rifle scopey58 referenced (in stainless) was made ‘97 only and is a rarity among rare birds. I don’t think that he is mistaken to think that he can get what he suggested for that scope and rifle. His rifle, in stainless, should command a premium over the blued variety. The last blued LH 300 WSM completed auction I can find on GB sold for ~$1500. Here is the link to the one Orion mentioned and you can see if it gets any bids. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/910226161

Stainless brings $200-$500 more than blue, given they were only produced one year. Standard bolt face tends to bring more than standard magnum tends to bring more than short magnums. Long magnums vary depending on chambering. But typically are in line with standard chamberings.
From the FWIW department, there is a LH hand 243 listed for $2500 BIN. That technically is the lowest factory serial numbered LH M70 in existence. This is out of the collection of 11 LH M70’s that originally went up for sale as a group for $77K. While the 30-06 FWT in that group was touted as the first LH M70 built, the 243 receiver is still one serial number lower than the 30-06. Even tho it is kinda cobbled together, for $2500 I am surprised that no one has bought the rifle as a donor to build a custom on the “first’ LH M70 receiver produced.

Whatever he ends up getting, the moral of this story is wood and metal for the win! In 30 years, no one will be fighting for the first LH RAR or Tikka produced 😂😇.

Seems like every so often they'd do a limited run just to keep a market alive for lefties.

Definitely not my cup-o-tea. However, have this thought in my head that a LH JOC Tribute rifle built on the first ever LH M70 receiver would be pretty cool. Up the cool factor by having Mr. Echols do the work. It is all out of my grasp. But loonies gotta dream….
