The Winchester Model 70 Super Grade .270 Win rifle (Winchester part no. 535218226) puts a gloss AAA maple stock with an ebony fore-end tip and a shadowline cheekpiece on the Pre-64 style action that the Model 70 name was built on. The long-action receiver and 24-inch barrel are polished blued steel, the bolt body is jeweled, and the hinged floorplate is engraved Super Grade. Controlled round feed with a claw extractor, a three-position safety and the M.O.A. trigger make it a working hunting rifle as much as a showpiece. It is a featured Model 70 from Winchester, aimed at the hunter who wants figured wood and a deep blued finish on a rifle meant to be carried and shot.
