Winchester's legendary Model 70 Alaskan in .338 Win Mag features a forged steel receiver, controlled round feed, cold hammer-forged barrel, and satin walnut Monte Carlo stock with adjustable sights.
Since 1936, the Winchester Model 70 has set the standard by which all other bolt-action rifles are measured. The Alaskan model carries forward that tradition with a rifle purpose-built for serious hunters pursuing big game in demanding terrain.
The Model 70 Alaskan starts with a forged steel receiver machined from a solid block of steel. This robust foundation is bedded front and rear with two-part epoxy, ensuring the action remains stable and consistent through the rigors of field use. The flat-bottomed receiver profile provides maximum surface area for secure bedding.
The Pre-'64 style Controlled Round Feed system features a massive claw extractor that grips approximately one-quarter of the cartridge base. This design maintains complete control over the round from magazine to chamber and through ejection. Unlike push-feed designs, the CRF system will extract an unfired cartridge even if not fully chambered—a critical safety feature in the field.
The Alaskan wears a satin walnut Monte Carlo stock with cut checkering for secure grip in wet conditions. Polished metal surfaces provide a classic appearance while the Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad manages the .338 Win Mag's substantial recoil. Folding adjustable rear sight with hooded brass bead front sight means you're ready to hunt immediately out of the box.
The .338 Win Mag delivers the power and range needed for elk, moose, and other large game. Combined with the Model 70's legendary reliability and accuracy, the Alaskan is a rifle that will serve you faithfully for decades.
