The Winchester Model 70 Long Range rifle in 6.8 Western with a fluted barrel (brand part no. 535243299) is a legendary bolt-action platform purpose-built for long-range hunting and target shooting with one of the newest flat-shooting big-game cartridges. Winchester pairs an ultra-stable Bell and Carlson composite stock with an aluminum bedding block for consistent accuracy, and the matte black action mates with a fluted barrel that includes an installed muzzle brake to tame the 6.8 Western’s recoil. The M.O.A. Trigger System delivers a crisp break with zero take-up, creep, or overtravel, and a Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad further reduces felt recoil. A three-position safety and detachable box magazine round out the package. Among long-range big-game bolt action rifles, this Model 70 Long Range configuration favors hunters who want flat-shooting 6.8 Western performance at extended range.
