I picked up an M70 Classic Stainless in 300 Win Mag from a local pawn shop for $475. I went over every bit of it to find out why it was so cheap, but it appears to be in good condition.

Prices have been so high I am considering it. Does anyone know why the sudden high demand for the Heym?

One dealer said there is big price increases and there is a 2-3yr backlog of orders and mainly on the jumbo actions. Also he said there was a rumor that Heym is considering cutting the 88B production and just having the 89B.
