The Winchester Model 70 has established itself as a definitive benchmark within bolt-action rifle design since its introduction in 1936. The Extreme variant continues this legacy, integrating proven mechanical principles with contemporary material science and manufacturing precision. This platform delivers consistent performance for the discerning shooter requiring a reliable and accurate long-range solution.
Key Features
Precision Engineering & Controls
- Controlled Round Feed (CRF): The Model 70’s classic CRF bolt design incorporates a robust claw extractor, ensuring positive control over the cartridge from magazine to chamber, and during extraction until full ejection. This mechanism facilitates reliable feeding and extraction, even if a cartridge is not fully chambered.
- M.O.A. Trigger System: KFF Defense identifies the M.O.A. Trigger System as a highly precise three-lever mechanism, engineered to deliver a crisp, predictable break, directly contributing to enhanced shot placement and overall accuracy.
- Three-Position Safety: An intuitive three-position safety allows for convenient, thumb-actuated operation, lifting the firing pin away from the sear. This design provides a clear visual and tactile indicator of the rifle’s status.
- Blade-Type Ejector: A blade-type ejector system grants the operator positive control over the spent case ejection, preventing short-stroking and ensuring consistent operation.
Robust Construction
- Forged Steel Receiver: The rifle’s receiver is meticulously forged from a solid block of steel. Its flat bottom profile optimizes surface area for bedding, enhancing receiver-to-stock interface rigidity.
- Two-Part Epoxy Bedding: The receiver is precisely bedded with a two-part epoxy at both the front and rear tangs. This method mitigates movement within the stock during the firing sequence, maintaining barrel-to-receiver alignment and contributing to repeatable accuracy.
- Free-Floating Button-Rifled Barrel: A 24-inch free-floating barrel, produced via button rifling, ensures consistent harmonics and minimizes external influences on projectile trajectory, thereby enhancing inherent accuracy and durability. The muzzle is threaded and equipped with a factory-installed muzzle brake to mitigate recoil and muzzle rise.
Ergonomics & Finish
- Bell & Carlson Stock: The rifle is equipped with a textured charcoal gray Bell & Carlson fixed stock, designed for optimal shooter interface and stability. Its full-size, right-hand configuration provides a consistent shooting platform.
- Cerakote Finish: Critical metal components feature a Tungsten Gray Cerakote finish, providing superior resistance to abrasion, corrosion, and chemical exposure, ensuring durability in varied operational environments.
