19 WINCHESTERGUNS.COM MODEL 70 ® BOLT-ACTION RIFLES MODEL 70 FEATURES A BLADE-TYPE EJECTOR gives full control when ejecting a fired case. Pull the bolt back slowly and the empty case pops out gently — perfect for target shooters and varminters. Pull the bolt back sharply and the empty case clears the port with greater force. THE INTEGRAL RECOIL LUG on the Model 70® is forged and machined as part of the receiver. It’s a hefty block of solid steel, not a mere washer or tab sandwiched between the barrel and the action during assembly. This allows the barrel to be trued in perfect alignment to the front ring of the receiver for greater accuracy. There is nothing to move, settle, or shift the barrel out of alignment, ever. It’s what makes a Model 70 rifle shoot straight and true, year after year. If there were a single feature responsible for the Model 70® rifle being labeled the “Bolt-Action Rifle of the Century,” it would be the classic Pre-’64 style CONTROLLED ROUND FEED AND CLAW EXTRACTOR (CRF) bolt design. The massive claw extractor secures the cartridge base, exerting full control from the very moment it leaves the magazine and enters the chamber, gripping it tightly until it’s fully ejected. This time-proven design allows an unfired cartridge to be extracted even if it is not yet fully chambered. The trigger guard and magazine frame of each Model 70® rifle feature a solid, ONE-PIECE BOTTOM METAL supporting the action through the magazine well. This added rigidity contributes to accuracy and integrity better than two-piece systems. The hinged magazine floorplate speeds unloading of the cartridges to avoid having to cycle them through the action. The action and trigger guard are held in place by stout hex head screws. Every Model 70® features a RECESSED TARGET CROWN at the muzzle to protect the rifling from nicks and dings. Each bullet exits the barrel uniformly, with ultimate precision. Expect 1 MOA ACCURACY for three-shot groups from the Model 70® rifle using high-quality ammo and optics under suitable weather and range conditions. Critical to rifle accuracy is how the barrel is made and set in the stock. Model 70® barrels have a reputation for delivering top accuracy, even during the heat of long strings of fire. Every precision rifled Model 70 barrel is FREE-FLOATING in the stock so that no part of the fore-end touches the barrel, because pressure from contacting the stock adversely influences accuracy. The RECOIL PAD on Model 70® rifles is a premium Pachmayr® Decelerator® recoil pad. This industry leading pad offers optimal protection against felt recoil.
