Winchester Model 70 Black Shadow .300 Win. Mag. Bolt-Action Rifle, 26-Inch Barrel
This New Haven–made Model 70 Black Shadow pairs Winchester’s controlled-round-feed Classic action with a 26-inch sporter barrel chambered in hard-hitting .300 Win. Mag. The matte-blued metalwork and rugged black synthetic stock keep weight down and glare low, while the jeweled bolt and G-prefix serial speak to its desirable production era. Clean lines, a blind internal magazine, and factory scope bases make this rifle a straightforward, purpose-built choice for big-game hunters and Model 70 enthusiasts alike.

The heart of this rifle is Winchester’s controlled-feed Classic action, featuring a full-length claw extractor for positive cartridge control from magazine to chamber—a detail many shooters seek out in pre-2006 Model 70s. The bolt body is jeweled and polished, reducing friction and adding a touch of traditional Winchester craftsmanship.
Chambered in .300 Winchester Magnum, the 26-inch barrel delivers maximum velocity and down-range energy. The 1:10 twist rate stabilizes a wide range of bullet weights, making the rifle versatile for everything from elk to extended-range target work.
The Black Shadow’s one-piece synthetic stock is finished in non-reflective matte black and incorporates a blind internal box magazine to keep the profile sleek. A soft rubber recoil pad with the Winchester logo helps manage magnum recoil, while the 13.6-inch length of pull fits most adult shooters.
All exterior metal wears a uniform matte blued finish that resists glare in the field. The receiver is drilled and tapped and comes with factory scope bases installed, allowing quick optic setup. Sling swivel studs are included for easy attachment of your preferred carry strap or bipod.
