Winchester Model 70 Super Grade AAA Claro 6.5 CM 22" 4rd Rifle

The Model 70 Super Grade is Winchester's dressed up version of its classic bolt action, and this one is chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor with a 22" barrel and a 4 round magazine. The stock is gloss finished AAA Claro walnut with a classic fore end tip, a Shadowline cheekpiece and fine checkering. The metal matches the wood: receiver and barrel are steel, polished and deeply blued, and the bolt body is jeweled.

Underneath the looks is the Model 70 action hunters know. It is the Pre '64 action with controlled round feed and controlled ejection, so the extractor takes hold of each cartridge as it leaves the magazine and keeps control of it until the empty case is thrown clear. A three position safety sits at the rear of the action. The barrel is free floating and finished with a target crown, and the receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounts. 6.5 Creedmoor is a mild recoiling cartridge that carries long, sleek bullets well, a good match for a deer rifle built to this level of finish.
