Winchester Model 70 Supergrade 7mm Rem. Mag 26" Rifle

The Winchester Model 70 Supergrade: A Rifle Built on 87 Years of Excellence

Since 1936, the Winchester Model 70 has set the standard by which all other bolt-action rifles are measured. The Supergrade represents the pinnacle of that tradition—a rifle that honors its heritage while delivering the precision and reliability that serious hunters and marksmen demand.

Design and Engineering

The Model 70 Supergrade starts with a forged steel receiver machined from a solid block of steel. This receiver features a flat bottom profile that provides greater surface area for bedding, ensuring the action remains rock-solid during firing. Winchester beds the receiver in two critical locations—front and rear—using a two-part epoxy process that prevents any shifting or movement that could compromise accuracy.

The Controlled Round Feed Advantage

At the heart of the Model 70 lies the Pre-'64 Controlled Round Feed (CRF) system. This design employs a massive claw extractor that secures approximately one-quarter of the cartridge base. From the moment a round leaves the magazine until it's fully ejected, the CRF system maintains complete control over the cartridge. This design also allows you to extract an unfired round even if it hasn't fully chambered—a practical advantage in the field.

Precision and Accuracy

The free-floating barrel is button-rifled using a process that ensures superior accuracy and durability. A recessed target crown protects the muzzle while delivering consistent velocity. The MOA Trigger System represents the most precise three-lever trigger mechanism available, providing crisp, predictable breaks that enhance accuracy.

Controls and Safety

The three-position safety is conveniently operated with your thumb, lifting the firing pin away from the sear. A blade-type ejector gives you full control when removing fired cases. Drilled and tapped receiver holes accommodate most modern scope mounting systems.

The Supergrade Finish

What sets the Supergrade apart is its uncompromising attention to detail. Highly polished, deeply-blued steel surfaces showcase Winchester's craftsmanship. The Grade IV/V fancy grain walnut stock features fine checkering and a shadowline cheekpiece that positions your eye perfectly for scope alignment. A one-piece steel bottom metal floorplate adds rigidity to both stock and action. Jeweled bolt body, knurled bolt handle, engraved hinged floorplate, and Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad complete the package.
