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

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.
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.
SOME parts are available from Nurich, better known as gunpartscorp. check their on-line catalog of parts for the Ithaca LSA 65.
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.
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.
depends on condition and if it says "LSA 65" on it.

LSA is a protein food and stands for Linseed Sunflower Almond.
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
