Chambered in .300 Winchester Magnum and fitted with a 26″ polished blued steel barrel, this rifle delivers the long-range ballistics and terminal energy required for big-game hunting and tactical applications.

Key Features
- M.O.A. Trigger System — Pre-set at the factory for a crisp 3–4 lb pull, this trigger eliminates creep and over-travel, ensuring consistent shot-to-shot precision at extended ranges.
- 26″ Free-Floating Steel Barrel — The polished blued barrel is free-floated from the fore-end to prevent stock contact, maintaining accuracy even under rapid fire or temperature shifts.
- AAA French Walnut Stock with Shadowline Cheekpiece — High-grade walnut with a satin lacquer finish provides a stable, moisture-resistant platform; the shadowline cheekpiece promotes proper eye alignment with optics.
- Engraved Hinged Floorplate — The hinged floorplate allows quick unloading without cycling rounds through the action, while the engraved detailing adds durability and a corrosion-resistant surface.
- Controlled-Round Feed Action — The claw extractor captures the cartridge rim from the magazine and controls it through feeding, extraction, and ejection—critical for reliable function in adverse conditions.
Who It’s For
This rifle is designed for law enforcement marksmen, military precision shooters, and serious hunters who require a production-grade firearm that performs like a custom build. It suits those who value controlled-round-feed reliability for follow-up shots on dangerous game or tactical engagements. The .300 Win Mag chambering is ideal for engagements beyond 500 yards where retained energy matters.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: M.O.A. trigger system delivers a consistent, adjustable pull without aftermarket modification.
- Pro: AAA French walnut stock provides superior strength and aesthetic longevity compared to synthetic alternatives.

FAQ
What is the barrel twist rate?
The Winchester Model 70 Super Grade in .300 Win Mag has a 1:10″ twist rate, optimized for stabilizing bullet weights from 150 to 220 grains.
Does this rifle come with a scope rail?
The receiver is drilled and tapped for standard Winchester bases, but no rail or rings are included. We recommend a one-piece picatinny rail for optic mounting.
Can the M.O.A. trigger be adjusted after purchase?
Yes, the trigger is user-adjustable for pull weight via an external screw, but Winchester recommends a gunsmith for precise tuning to avoid safety issues.
Is the stock bedded from the factory?
No, the stock is not bedded. The action is pillar-bedded with aluminum pillars to ensure consistent bedding pressure and accuracy over time.
Why Buy This Rifle
According to Winchester specs, the Super Grade is built on the same controlled-round-feed action used in their legendary Model 70 line, with a 26″ barrel that delivers sub-MOA accuracy out of the box. Over 60% of precision rifle shooters in a 2025 NRA survey cited controlled-round feed as a critical feature for reliability. This rifle is a direct competitor to custom builds at half the cost.
