What’s Included
- Winchester Model 70 Black Shadow Stainless .300 Win. Mag. rifle
The stainless steel receiver and 26 inch stainless sporter-contour barrel wear a non-reflective matte finish. The action is Winchester’s push-feed design with a two-lug rotating bolt, plunger ejector, and small extractor. The jeweled bolt body carries an electropenciled partial serial that matches the receiver.
Controls include the Model 70’s three-position wing safety. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope bases, and the barrel is configured without iron sights, consistent with this Black Shadow Stainless setup.
The stock is a gray injection-molded synthetic unit with a straight comb and molded checkering for grip. Raised W logo panels, front and rear sling swivel studs, and a solid rubber buttpad with the Winchester horse-and-rider medallion complete the furniture. Length of pull is 13.5.
Feeding is via an internal blind-box magazine with a 3+1 capacity in .300 Win. Mag. Markings include the Winchester oval WP proof on the barrel shank and a rollmark indicating Made in New Haven, CT. This configuration aligns with New Haven production during the 1991–2006 era and the noted G-prefix serial range.
