Lightweight and chambered in .270 Winchester, this rifle is ready for anything, from mule deer or pronghorns on the Great Plains to taking a bighorn ram or black bear in the mountains. We paid great attention to detail in making this rifle as close to the original 1961 Model 70 as possible. From the 22" contoured barrel, integral sling mounts and pre-1964 controlled-feeding bolt-action with claw and extraction to reproducing the 1961 box, hang tag and owners manual, owning this quality firearm is like owning a piece of history. Plus, its premium, high-luster bluing and fine-checkered, high grade walnut stock make it a work of art. Additional features include a red Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad and jeweled bolt.

Caliber Dictionary

Properly "Caliber 30 Model of 1906," the 30-06 was developed at Springfield Armory for the 1903 Springfield rifle. The original 1903 cartridge, though very similar, used a round-nosed 220-grain bullet; the 1906 version used a 150-grain spitzer bullet with a slightly shorter case neck and case length of 2.494-inches. The 30-06, in Springfield, 1917 Enfield, and M1 Garand rifles, remained America's service cartridge through the Korean War. It was the most powerful cartridge ever adopted by a major military, and over time became America's most popular hunting cartridge. Today there are many good choices, but the 30-06 remains extremely popular throughout the world, suited for most North American big game and equally effective for African plains game. The most common standard loads today feature: 150-grain bullet at 2910 feet per second; 165-grain bullet at 2800 fps; and 180-grain bullet at 2700 fps. Choices in both rifles and ammunition are almost limitless. — Craig Boddington
