Gun Descriptions

Winchester Model 70

The Winchester Model 70 is a bolt-action sporting rifle. It has an iconic place in American sporting culture and has been held in high regard by shooters since it was introduced in 1936, earning the moniker "The Rifleman's Rifle".[1] The action has some design similarities to Mauser designs and it is a development of the earlier Winchester Model 54, itself based on a Mauser 98-type action. The Model 70 was originally manufactured by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company between 1936 and 1980. From the early 1980s until 2006, Winchester rifles were manufactured by U.S. Repeating Arms under an agreement with Olin Corporation, allowing USRA to use the Winchester name and logo.[3] Model 70s were built in New Haven, Connecticut, from 1936 to 2006, when production ceased. In the fall of 2007, the Belgian company FN Herstal announced that Model 70 production would resume. As of 2012, new Winchester Model 70 rifles were being made by FN Herstal in Columbia, South Carolina. In 2013, assembly was moved to Portugal.

Christensen Arms Mesa

Take on the toughest hunts with confidence using the match-grade accuracy of the Christensen Arms® Mesa Bolt-Action Rifle. Designed to deliver guaranteed sub 1-MOA accuracy, this rifle features a free-floated, button-rifled, contoured, 416R stainless steel barrel with threaded muzzle and a stainless steel seamless radial brake for improved control and superior reliability at distance. The steel receiver offers superior durability and is compatible with standard Remington® 700 optics bases for maximum versatility. An enlarged ejection port virtually eliminates ejection failures. A nitride-treated, twin-lug, spiral-fluted bolt boasts a skeletonized bolt handle, and comes equipped with an M16-style extractor and dual ejectors (magnum calibers) for superior reliability and enhanced durability. The match-grade trigger provides consistent 2.5-lb. to 3.5-lb. pull for improved accuracy and control. Lightweight, carbon-fiber-composite sporter stock comes equipped with stainless steel pillars and spot bedding for reduced weight, without sacrificing strength. Recoil pad reduces felt recoil for enhanced control and reduced fatigue. Christensen Arms Mesa bolt-action rifle has a hinged floor plate and 4-round capacity (3 magnum) internal magazine.
