British action. - Incorrect. The Ithaca LSA-55 and LSA-65 are both products of Tikka, which is a Finnish arms manufacturer. The LSA-65 was their long action, 30-06 etc, whereas the LSA-55 was their short action, 308's etc. Excellent rifles, as are all of Tikka's rifles. Very hard to find parts for, but well worth it if you have one. They do not sell for very high prices, so this is an excellent way to get yourself a discount Tikka...as long as you dont need parts.
Lsa -55 is a short action rifle made by tikka in finland for ithaca. It was made in .222 rem, 22-250, 243, 6mm and 308. It came in a standard and deluxe versions. The lsa-65 was the long action model and came in 25-06, 270 and 30-06. Made from 1969 thru 1977?
Ithaca imported this gun from LSA in Finland from 1971 thru 1978, when it was discontinued. It was available in several different calibers, but the 270 was first available in 1971. According to "Modern Guns", 15th edition, this gun in "excellent condition" should be worth $420.00; in "very good" condition $335.
Ithaca did not manufacture any high powered rifles, but did import and distribute some on different occasions in partnership with LSA and BSA in particular. Sounds like what you have is an "Ithaca-BSA" bolt action sold between 1976 and 1978. It was available in both the 300 Win mag and the 7 mm Rem mag. Retail price at that time was $319.95
See the link below. This is the dealer locator for Ithaca guns. A dealer should either have one, or be able to acquire one for you.
I gave $200 for my Deluxe LSA-65 30-06 in June of 2011. I've seen them fetching near $500 for the deluxe models.
I believe you are referring to the Ithaca Tikka LSA-55 turkey combo gun. Not to be confused with the Ithaca Tikka LSA-55 bolt action, short action rifle, the combo gun was imported back around the mid 1970s. It was 12 gauge over 222 Remington over and under configuration. It was marketed as a turkey gun. The 12-70 refers to the gauge and length of the cartridge in millimeters. In this case, it means a 12 gauge, 2.75" shell as opposed to a 3" mag shell. Very unusual gun not seen very often. Hope this helps. Mike
Dodge, I bought an Ithica LSA 55 in 1969 or 1970 brand new in 308 cal. My rifle has performed solidly for 38 years. If i could do it all over again, it would be a 243, only because i live in Georgia and don't hunt anything larger than whitetail. The 243 is good for both small and large game. If i were you i would keep the rifle or give it to a young hunter in your family as such a fine rifle will be hard to replace unless you are willing to fork out many centabos. Good Luck, and I hope you keep your rifle in the family. Good Luck
