The Winchester Model 70 Extreme delivers precision hunting performance with its tungsten gray Cerakote finish and MOA trigger system. This bolt-action rifle combines weather resistance with sub-MOA accuracy potential for serious hunters and precision shooters.
What Makes This Different
The Model 70 Extreme features a Bell & Carlson composite stock with TrueTimber VSX camouflage that provides superior stability compared to traditional wood stocks. The tungsten gray Cerakote coating on both receiver and barrel offers enhanced corrosion resistance beyond standard bluing. Winchester's MOA trigger system delivers a crisp, adjustable pull that breaks consistently between 3-5 pounds, eliminating the creep found in factory triggers.
Key Features
- MOA trigger system with adjustable 3-5 pound pull weight for precision shooting
- 22-inch button-rifled barrel with muzzle brake for reduced recoil and faster follow-up shots
- Bell & Carlson composite stock in TrueTimber VSX camo with aluminum bedding block
- Tungsten gray Cerakote finish on receiver and barrel for maximum corrosion protection
- 5+1 round capacity with hinged floorplate for reliable feeding
- Pre-64 style controlled round feed with three-position safety
- Drilled and tapped receiver accepts standard Weaver-style scope bases
Field testing shows the Model 70 Extreme consistently groups under 1.5 MOA with quality ammunition, making it suitable for medium to large game hunting at extended ranges. The composite stock maintains zero in temperature extremes where wood stocks might shift. The muzzle brake reduces felt recoil by approximately 30%, allowing for better shot placement and faster target reacquisition during follow-up shots.
