Introducing the Winchester Model 70 Super Express, a bolt-action rifle with a reputation for strength, accuracy, and reliability. This highly sought-after piece is in a very good condition, showing only light, superficial signs of prior handling or use. With minor superficial blemishes along the stock, some finish wear on the bolt handle, and a missing front sight hood, the rifle carries a sense of history and character. The bore condition is excellent, with a clean, mirror finish and no signs of wear, and the rifling is also in excellent condition with sharp lands and grooves.
Manufactured by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company between 1984-1985, this particular model is often referred to as "The Rifleman's Rifle." It is chambered in .458 Winchester Magnum, a caliber known for its power and performance, making it ideal for big game hunting. The blued finish and the hardwood stock with press checkering on the forend and grip, along with a rubber butt pad, add to the rifle's enduring aesthetic appeal and contribute to its durability. The front drift adjustable blade with a silver bead insert and rear flip-up U notch, along with 1" Scope rings mounted, provide excellent sighting options. Furthermore, the rifle features a jeweled bolt and magazine follower, adding a touch of elegance to this robust firearm.
With a capacity of 3+1 rounds, this rifle is a popular choice for big game hunting in Africa and elsewhere. The Model 70 is celebrated for its controlled round feeding, a feature that helps prevent double feeding and cartridge jams. This performance, coupled with its historical significance and the excellent craftsmanship of Winchester, makes the Model 70 Super Express a worthy addition to any firearms collection.
