The Winchester Model 70 Long Range is engineered for consistent accuracy and reliable performance at extended distances. This rifle integrates a proven action with precision-oriented components, establishing it as a robust platform for demanding field or competitive engagements.
Key Features
Action and Reliability
Built on the revered Model 70 Controlled Round Feed (CRF) action, this rifle ensures positive cartridge extraction and feeding, regardless of orientation or environmental conditions. The Pre-64 style claw extractor provides robust case engagement, significantly mitigating failures. A three-position safety system offers secure operation, allowing for safe handling, unloading, and a fully locked position, enhancing operational security.
Precision and Accuracy
The Model 70 Long Range features a 24-inch heavy sporter profile barrel, meticulously free-floated to maintain consistent harmonics and reduce external point-of-impact shift. The muzzle is factory threaded to a standard 5/8″-24 TPI and fitted with an effective muzzle brake, designed to mitigate recoil impulse and aid in rapid follow-up shot acquisition. The integrated M.O.A. Trigger System delivers a crisp, zero-take-up, zero-creep pull, directly contributing to repeatable shot placement and overall precision.
Ergonomics and Durability
The rifle incorporates a high-strength composite stock, providing a stable, warp-resistant shooting platform impervious to common environmental deformations. Its ergonomic design facilitates optimal cheek weld and a secure grip, enhancing shooter interface for extended periods of use. The receiver and barrel feature a matte blued finish for enhanced durability and glare reduction in varied light conditions.
