Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

The Model 70 has been called the Rifleman's Rifle for close to a century, and this Extreme VSX version takes that pedigree and dresses it for the worst weather the season can throw at you. Every major metal surface, including the barrel, receiver, bolt handle, and floorplate, wears a Tungsten Cerakote finish that shrugs off moisture and rough handling far better than traditional bluing, and it kills glare that could give you away on a distant ridge. Underneath all that protection is the pre-64 style controlled round feed action with the big claw extractor, so cartridges feed and eject reliably whether you're cycling the bolt slowly on a bedded buck or running it fast on a follow-up.
The Bell and Carlson synthetic stock is the real workhorse here. Unlike wood, it won't swell or shrink as humidity changes, which keeps action tension consistent and your zero where you left it. It's finished in TrueTimber VSX camo, shaped with a sculpted cheekpiece that lines your eye up naturally behind a scope, and capped with a Pachmayr Decelerator pad. The 22 inch free-floating barrel is deeply fluted to trim weight and cool faster, threaded, and fitted with a radial muzzle brake. In a light-kicking cartridge like .243 Winchester, that brake makes recoil almost an afterthought, and the threading means you can swap to a suppressor down the road.
At 6 pounds 12 ounces bare, this short action carries easily all day, and the .243 chambering makes it a genuine do-it-all rifle for whitetail, antelope, and coyotes alike. Winchester's M.O.A. Trigger System breaks clean with no creep and minimal overtravel, the three-position safety lets you work the bolt with the safety still engaged, and the jeweled bolt body with knurled handle adds a touch of class you don't often see on a weather rifle. The receiver comes drilled and tapped, so mounting your favorite glass is straightforward. Feed it from the 5-round hinged floorplate magazine and you've got a hunting rifle that's ready for genuinely nasty conditions without giving up the feel that made the Model 70 famous.
No, it ships without iron sights or optics. The receiver comes drilled and tapped from the factory, so it accepts standard Model 70 bases and rails. Plan on mounting a scope before heading to the field.
No, this rifle uses a traditional hinged floorplate design with a 5-round internal magazine. You load from the top and can dump rounds quickly by popping the floorplate. Many hunters prefer this setup since there's no box magazine to lose or rattle in the field.
Yes. The 22 inch fluted barrel is threaded, and the factory radial muzzle brake is removable, so you can thread on a suppressor with the appropriate adapter or direct-thread mount. Just verify your can's thread pitch matches before ordering a mount.
The .243 Win is one of the most versatile short-action cartridges out there. It's a proven choice for whitetail, pronghorn, and hogs, and with lighter bullets it doubles as an excellent coyote and varmint round. Mild recoil also makes it a great fit for newer hunters or anyone who values fast, comfortable follow-up shots.
