Winchester M70 Long Range MB 24in Bolt Action Centrefire Rifle - 4rnd Mag Key Features
- Calibre - 6.5 Creedmoor: A flat-shooting, low-recoil cartridge with exceptional long-range ballistics, widely regarded as one of the best all-round options for precision hunting and target shooting. The 1:8 twist rate optimises stabilisation for the heavier, high-BC projectiles that make 6.5 Creedmoor so effective at distance.
- Barrel - 24in (60.96cm), Fluted and Free-Floated: The longer barrel maximises velocity with 6.5 Creedmoor loads, while fluting reduces weight and improves heat dissipation. Free-floating ensures the barrel harmonics are consistent shot to shot, unaffected by stock pressure.
- Muzzle Brake with 9/16x24 Thread: The factory-fitted muzzle brake reduces felt recoil and muzzle rise during extended shooting sessions. The 9/16x24 thread pitch is also compatible with a wide range of aftermarket suppressors and muzzle devices.
- Recessed Target Crown: Protects the muzzle crown from damage that could affect projectile exit consistency, a small but meaningful detail for shooters chasing tight groups.
- M.O.A. Trigger System: Winchester's user-adjustable trigger breaks cleanly with no take-up, no creep, and no overtravel. Adjustable to suit individual preference without gunsmith intervention, it's a meaningful upgrade over traditional hunting triggers for precision work.
- Pre-'64 Controlled Round Feed with Claw Extractor: The legendary claw extractor positively controls the cartridge from the moment it leaves the magazine until ejection. This system is highly reliable under field conditions and is particularly valued for its feeding consistency with hunting rounds.
- Three-Position Safety: Allows the bolt to be cycled and the chamber cleared while the rifle remains on safe, an important safety feature for hunters moving through terrain with a chambered round.
- Bell and Carlson Composite Stock - Tan with Black Spiderweb: Constructed using a hand lay-up process incorporating fibreglass, aramid fibres, graphite, epoxy gel coats, laminating resins, and polyurethane reinforcement with milled fibreglass. This process produces a stock that is dimensionally stable and rated for use across a temperature range of -45.6°C to +60°C (-50°F to +140°F), well beyond conditions any Australian hunter is likely to encounter.
- Aluminium Bedding Block: A full-length aluminium bedding block is integral to the stock, providing a rigid, consistent interface between the action and stock. This is a key contributor to accuracy and long-term zero retention.
- Wide, Flat-Bottomed, Vented Fore-End: The fore-end profile is designed to sit stably on a bipod or shooting bag, while venting aids barrel cooling during extended shooting.
- Textured Grip: Aggressive texturing on the grip and fore-end ensures a secure hold in wet or cold conditions without requiring gloves to maintain control.
- Pachmayr Decelerator Recoil Pad: A quality aftermarket-grade recoil pad fitted as standard, reducing felt recoil to make extended range sessions more comfortable and follow-up shots faster.
- Hinged Floorplate with 4-Round Magazine: A traditional hinged floorplate design allows the magazine to be quickly unloaded in the field. The 4-round capacity meets Australian firearms licence requirements for centrefire bolt-action rifles.
- Drilled and Tapped, No Sights: The receiver is drilled and tapped for standard scope mounts. No iron sights are included, reflecting the rifle's intended use with quality optics at extended ranges.
- Overall Length and Length of Pull: Overall length is 111.76cm (44in) with a length of pull of 34.29cm (13.5in), fitting a broad range of shooters without modification.
- Finish - Matte Blued: The matte blued finish reduces glare in the field and provides a clean, classic appearance consistent with the M70's heritage.
- Expected Accuracy - 1 MOA: Winchester specifies 1 MOA accuracy when paired with quality optics and premium ammunition, a meaningful benchmark for a production hunting rifle at this price point.
The Winchester M70 Long Range MB in 6.5 Creedmoor is a serious rifle for serious shooters. With its controlled round feed reliability, precision-focused barrel and stock package, and a trigger system that rewards accuracy, it's a factory-ready long-range platform that will serve equally well in the paddock as it does at the range.
What calibre is the Winchester M70 Long Range MB available in?
This rifle is chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, a popular cartridge well-suited to long-range hunting and target shooting. It features a 24-inch fluted, free-floated barrel with a 1:8 twist rate, which is well-matched to the heavier, high-BC projectiles commonly used in 6.5 Creedmoor loads.
Does this rifle come with iron sights, or do I need to purchase a scope separately?
No iron sights are included with this rifle. The barrel features a recessed target crown and the receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounts, so you'll need to purchase a scope and appropriate mounts separately. The rifle is designed with optics use in mind for long-range applications.
Can I attach a suppressor to this rifle?
Yes — the barrel is threaded at the muzzle with a 9/16x24 thread pattern, which is compatible with many suppressors and accessories designed for that thread specification. The rifle also comes fitted with a muzzle brake as standard, which would need to be removed when attaching a suppressor.
What makes the Bell and Carlson stock on this rifle suitable for demanding conditions?
The Bell and Carlson composite stock is hand laid-up using fiberglass, aramid fibres, graphite, and epoxy resins, and features an aluminium bedding block for consistent action fit. It's rated from -50°F to +140°F, has a textured grip for wet conditions, and includes a vented flat-bottomed fore-end to aid barrel cooling during extended shooting sessions.
