Winchester Model 70 Super Grade AAA Claro 6.8 Western 24" 3rd Rifle

Winchester built the Super Grade to show what a Model 70 can look like, and this rifle pairs that finish with the 6.8 Western cartridge. It has a 24" barrel with a target crown, and the magazine holds 3 rounds. The 6.8 Western is a newer short action cartridge made to shoot long, heavy .277 bullets, which gives a hunter real reach on deer and elk sized game.

The stock is AAA Claro walnut in a gloss finish, shaped with a Shadowline cheekpiece and a classic fore end tip, and the checkering is fine and crisp. The steel is polished and deeply blued on both the receiver and the barrel, and the bolt body is jeweled. Mechanically it is the Pre '64 action with controlled round feed and controlled ejection, the feeding system many hunters trust when conditions get rough. A three position safety, a free floating barrel and a receiver drilled and tapped for scope bases complete the build. The Model 70 features continue with a claw extractor, a blade type ejector, the M.O.A. trigger and a Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad.
