The original Model 70 three-position
safety is still the preferred design of
most gun experts — it actually blocks
the firing pin and lets you open the bolt
with the safety on. The Model 70 offers our superb anti-bind
bolt design — keeping bolt function smooth.
The innovative field-strippable
firing pin mechanism is easy to
inspect and service — even in
the outdoors. It gives you spe-
cial confidence in extremely
cold or dirty conditions.
Most Model 70s feature
the famous Pre-’64 type
action with claw extrac-
tion. For different needs,
models are also available
with our proven push-feed
bolt design.
The heart of any rifle is its trigger.
The Model 70’s trigger system is
repeatedly praised for its consistency,
precision and incredible crispness.
