Long-range interest continues to drive the market. Whether taking big-game animals at extended range, or competing at a high level, rifle makers continue turning out affordable tack drivers. The new Winchester Model 70 Long Range MB checks several long-range boxes.
Winchester Model 70 Long Range MB
The new rifle features a fluted, heavy sporter barrel fitted with a 5/8″x24 threaded muzzle and muzzle brake. The free-floating, matte blued barrel measures 24 inches long. A recessed target crown completes the barrel.
A Bell and Carlson tan synthetic stock features flow-through forend vents and a black web finish. The stock design provides flat-bottom bench stability. Meanwhile, it remains light enough to carry afield.
A true Model 70, the pre-’64 claw-type extractor highlights the classic controlled round feed action. The equally classic three-position safety delivers tremendous versatility.
The Long Range MB comes in .22-250, .243 Win., 6.5 CM, .308 Win., 6.5 PRC, .270 WSM, .300 WSM, and the new 6.8 Western. The rifle retails for $1,489.99. For even more info, please visit winchesterguns.com.
