The Winchester® Model 70® is the bolt-action rifle that all others are compared to and it's tailored for serious big game hunting. The controlled-round, claw-extractor (same as the "pre-'64" style) grabs hold of the cartridge's rim shortly after it leaves the magazine and guides it to the chamber, regardless of the angle the rifle is being held, and prevents jams caused by double feeding during adrenaline charged moments of the hunt. The large claw extractor also provides maximum surface contact on the cartridge's rim for sure extraction of the spent casing; and a solid blade-type ejector reliably clears empty cases from the action. The Alaskan model features a satin finish Monte Carlo walnut stock with cut checkering, and a Pachmayr® Decelerator® recoil pad. Reliable front and rear open sights back up any problems one might encounter with optical sights when hunting in remote areas. A 3-position safety allows the shooter to load or unload the Model 70 with the safety engaged in the mid position; and the bolt is locked in the rearward position, where it is extremely unlikely to get knocked off safe when carrying the rifle in rugged terrain. Winchester's M.O.A.™ Trigger System has zero trigger "creep" prior to the release of the firing pin, and no "overtravel" of the trigger after the firing pin has been released. The excellent trigger, combined with a hammer-forged, free-floated barrel, and forged steel receiver with a bedded integral recoil lug provide exceptional accuracy. The Winchester Model 70 Alaskan Bolt-Action Rifle is an outstanding choice for hunting in Alaska or any rugged and remote environment inhabited by dangerous game.
