For big game hunting in Alaska or anywhere else in the world, the new Winchester Repeating Arms Model 70 Alaskan comes back with all the features that have made the Model 70 a favorite among big game hunters. The Model 70 Alaskan will be available in three calibers: .30-06 Sprg., .300 Win. Mag., and .338 Win. Mag.

The gun’s satin finish Monte Carlo walnut stock with cut checkering looks exquisite and aligns your eye perfectly with open sights or a scope. The Model 70 Alaskan features a folding adjustable rear sight and a hooded gold front bead for fast target acquisition.

The pre-’64 style controlled round feed with claw extractor fully controls the cartridge from magazine to chamber to ejection. To help reduce felt recoil, the Model 70 Alaskan features the Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad.

Some of the features on the Model 70 Alaskan that have given the Model 70 the reputation of being a very accurate firearm include:

-- MOA trigger system – Zero creep and zero overtravel
-- Integral recoil lug – Forged and machined as part of the receiver
-- Free floating barrel – All Model 70 barrels are cold hammer forged
-- Alloy one-piece bottom metal – Adds solid rigidity for better accuracy
-- Recessed target crown – protects the rifling

MSRP: $1,269.99

Stainless, synthetic/lam. stock for sure Hal, plus a shorter, more brush friendly barrel (24 in. max) in .375 H&H.

This rifle should be in stainless, with fluted barrel and graphite/kevlar stock in short magnum calibers. Then it would be truly suited to the Alaskan climate and conditions.
