Winchester Model 70 Supergrade: The Benchmark Bolt-Action Rifle

Since 1936, the Winchester Model 70 has set the standard by which all other bolt-action rifles are measured. This Supergrade variant represents the pinnacle of Winchester's rifle-making tradition, blending time-tested mechanical excellence with refined aesthetics.

Design and Mechanics

The Model 70 Supergrade is built on a forged steel receiver machined from a solid block of steel. This construction provides the rigidity and durability demanded by serious hunters and marksmen. The flat bottom profile of the receiver offers greater surface area for bedding, which is accomplished using a two-part epoxy applied at both the front and rear of the stock. This bedding system keeps the action and stock from shifting during firing, maintaining consistent accuracy shot after shot.

Controlled Round Feed System

The Pre-'64 style Controlled Round Feed (CRF) bolt design is the heart of the Model 70's reliability. A massive claw extractor smoothly engages approximately one-quarter of the cartridge base, maintaining full control from the magazine through chambering and ejection. This design also allows extraction of unfired cartridges that have not yet fully chambered—a practical advantage in the field.

Trigger and Safety

The MOA Trigger System represents the most precise three-lever trigger mechanism available. The three-position safety operates conveniently with your thumb and lifts the firing pin away from the sear, allowing you to carry the rifle safely with the chamber loaded.

Barrel and Accuracy

The free-floating barrel is button-rifled through a process that assures superior accuracy and durability. A recessed target crown protects the barrel's muzzle and contributes to consistent shot placement. The barrel is polished and deeply blued to match the receiver.

Stock and Furniture

The Supergrade features a Grade IV/V full fancy walnut stock with a shadowline cheekpiece that is both beautiful and functional—it positions your eye in perfect alignment with your scope. A one-piece steel bottom metal floorplate adds extra rigidity to the stock and action. Sling swivel studs are inletted into the wood, and a Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad manages recoil impulse.
