The new Model 70 features the M.O.A. Trigger System, improved fit and finish, enhanced accuracy, a three-position safety and classic Pre-64 Controlled Round Feeding.
The new Winchester Model 70 will be offered in a Super Grade, Featherweight Deluxe, Sporter Deluxe and Extreme Weather SS models. All will feature a thick, black Pachmayr Decelerator pad.
