The Winchester Model 70 Extreme Weather delivers precision performance in harsh conditions where standard rifles fail. This bolt-action rifle combines stainless steel construction with advanced composite materials to maintain accuracy regardless of weather extremes. Built on Winchester's proven Model 70 action, it provides the reliability hunters and precision shooters demand.
What Makes This Different
The Extreme Weather features a Bell & Carlson composite stock with aluminum bedding that eliminates the wood warping and shifting common in traditional stocks. The stainless steel receiver and barrel resist corrosion in wet conditions while maintaining the tight tolerances required for consistent accuracy. Unlike blued steel rifles that require constant maintenance, this stainless construction performs reliably in rain, snow, and humid environments without degradation.
