The Winchester Model 70 has been a benchmark in bolt-action rifles for decades, prized by shooters who demand reliability, crisp triggers, and classic lines. For range-focused shooters who want a blend of tradition and out-of-the-box accuracy, this variant delivers a refined experience without excess weight or gimmicks.

WINCHESTER MODEL 70 SUPER GRADE MAPLE is built on the pre-’64 controlled round feed action with a claw-type extractor, offering positive feeding and improved reliability in adverse conditions.

Key features that matter on the range

The Super Grade Maple comes equipped with Winchester’s MOA trigger and a free-floated 22-inch barrel for accuracy straight from the box. The high-gloss Grade AAAA Maple stock with ebony forearm tip and a polished blued receiver and barrel combine aesthetic appeal with a stable, shooting-oriented platform. A 5-round magazine keeps the rifle compact while providing enough capacity for extended range sessions.

Why the .243 chambering is a smart choice

The rifle is chambered in .243 Winchester, a versatile round known for flat trajectories, moderate recoil, and excellent ballistic performance for precision varmint and small-game work. For range shooters, .243 offers affordable ammo options, easy follow-up shots, and the ability to tune loads for consistent groups at common range distances.

Action and reliability

Built around the popular pre-’64 controlled round feed system, the action uses a claw extractor for secure cartridge control during cycling. That design is favored by professionals and hunters alike for its hard-use dependability and smooth feeding under stress or when firing from awkward positions.

Fit, finish, and value

The Super Grade Maple is a premium-feel rifle; the AAAA maple stock and polished blued metal elevate presentation without compromising function. At a listed price of $1705.99, it sits in the premium bolt-action segment but justifies its cost with features focused on accuracy and longevity.

Who should consider this rifle?

Choose WINCHESTER MODEL 70 SUPER GRADE MAPLE if you want a range rifle that marries traditional controlled-round-feed reliability with modern accuracy features like a free-floated barrel and MOA trigger. It’s ideal for shooters focused on precision practice, load development, and those who appreciate fine wood and finish on a functional platform.
