The Winchester Model 70 Extreme Weather rifle in 6.8 Western with a stainless and synthetic finish (brand part no. 535242299) pairs Winchester’s controlled-round-feed Model 70 action with a Bell and Carlson black synthetic stock featuring a sculpted cheek piece for a consistent scope-eye position. Winchester fits the rifle with a 24-inch free-floated barrel threaded 9/16-24 with an included muzzle brake, and a 1:8-inch twist rate suited to the long, heavy-for-caliber bullets 6.8 Western is built around. The M.O.A. trigger system and three-position safety back up controlled-round feeding for dependable cycling, and a recessed target crown along with a blade-type ejector round out a rifle built for extended-range hunting in tough conditions. Among weather-resistant bolt action rifles, this Model 70 Extreme Weather configuration favors hunters chasing elk-sized game at extended range.
