Description:
Condition:
Like new.  Beautiful fit and finish with deep, high-gloss bluing and classic checkered walnut. The 7mm Rem Mag provides exceptional downrange energy and is flat-shooting.  XTR Designation: Stands for "Extra," featuring upgraded finishes, such as a high-gloss blued barrel and a highly finished stock.

Overview
The 1979 Winchester Model 70 XTR in 7mm Rem Mag is a highly regarded, classic hunting rifle. It features the post-1964 push-feed action, an elegant high-gloss blued finish, and checkered walnut furniture. Its renowned cartridge provides excellent long-range ballistics, though it brings noticeable recoil and muzzle blast. 

Design & Mechanics
  • Action: This era utilizes the post-1964 push-feed mechanism. While traditionalists often prefer the earlier controlled-round feed, the late-70s push-feed is incredibly smooth and reliable, rarely causing jams. 
  • Safety: Features a classic, easily manipulated three-position wing safety (Safe, Lock/Load, Fire). 
  • Caliber (7mm Rem Mag): Known for its flat trajectory and high energy, making it an excellent all-around choice for elk, mule deer, and other large North American game. 
Performance & Usability
The late 70s and 80s Winchester models generally agree that this rifle is highly accurate, often capable of sub-MOA groupings with the right handloads or premium factory ammunition. Because the 7mm Rem Mag is a magnum caliber, the rifle typically comes with a longer barrel (usually 24 or 26 inches) to maximize powder burn and velocity.  

This is a used item. While we do not test-fire our used firearms, we perform an inspection and function check to ensure that they are fully functional to the best of our ability.
