The innovative fieldstrippable bolt mechanism is easy to inspect
and service — even in the outdoors. It gives you confidence in
extremely cold or dirty conditions.
The heart of any rifle is its trigger. The new M.O.A.
Trigger System
™ features a three-lever design
that is crisp with virtually no take-up, creep or
overtravel. Trigger pull is set at approximately
3½ pounds from the factory, and can be adjusted.
Overtravel is also adjustable.
All Model 70 rifles feature
a deluxe recoil pad for
maximum comfort.
The Model 70 three-position “safety” (left)
has been proven popular by hunters and
shooters for over 50 years — it blocks the
firing pin and lets you open the bolt with
the “safety” on. The Model 70 offers our superb
anti-bind bolt design — keeping bolt
function smooth.
Blued barrels are hammer-forged.
Stainless barrels are button-rifled.
Both give you the precision
you’re looking for.
Modern Model 70 craftsmanship provides tighter wood-to-metal
and component fit, excellent checkering, deeper, richer bluing
(or stainless) and a choice of the finest walnut or durable
composite stocks.
The barrel crown is recessed to help
prevent damage that can affect accuracy.
