Since 1936, the Model 70 has stood as the paragon of bolt-action rifles. This iconic firearm continues to set the standard against which all others are judged. Central to its enduring reputation is the famous three-position safety—a feature that allows for seamless operation with your firing hand's thumb. By lifting the firing pin away from the sear, it provides an extra layer of security and peace of mind. The foundation of this masterpiece begins with a forged steel receiver crafted from a solid block of steel. Its flat-bottom profile offers increased surface area for bedding, ensuring stability during repeated shots. The receiver is bedded in two critical places—at both front and rear—with a robust two-part epoxy, preventing any internal movement within the stock while firing. A hallmark feature is its Controlled Round Feed (CRF) bolt design. This massive claw extractor grips approximately one-quarter of the cartridge base as soon as it leaves the magazine, maintaining full control until it's ejected or chambered. Remarkably efficient, this system even permits extraction of an unfired cartridge before it's fully chambered if necessary. Equally impressive is its M.O.A Trigger System—the most precise three-lever trigger mechanism available today—offering unparalleled fit and finish alongside enhanced accuracy reminiscent of Pre-'64 models known for their controlled round feeding excellence. The blade-type ejector grants you absolute command over spent case ejection, adding another layer to this rifle’s user-friendly design. Complementing these features is a free-floating barrel that's button-rifled through a meticulous process aimed at delivering superior accuracy and durability shot after shot. This Extreme model boasts advanced aesthetics and functionality: adorned with a tungsten Cerakote gray metal finish complemented by a Bell & Carson stock featuring sculpted cheek pieces for optimal comfort during aiming. In sum, every element—from safety mechanisms to precision engineering—ensures that owning a Model 70 isn't just possessing another rifle; it’s holding onto decades-long legacy defined by reliability and unmatched performance.
