SHOT 2009: Winchester Rifles
For 2009, Winchester will add two new models to the Model 70 bolt-action rifle lineup that was introduced last year. The Model 70 Coyote Light has been trimmed down to reduce unnecessary bulk without sacrificing performance. The matte-blued receiver and medium-heavy fluted stainless-steel barrel mount into a skeletonized aluminum bedding block that is set into a lightweight carbon-fiber composite Bell & Carlson stock. Flow-through vents on the forend reduce weight and promote barrel cooling. Like all Model 70 bolt guns, it features controlled-round feeding and the MOA trigger system. The bare barrel is drilled and tapped, and a Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad is standard. Available in 22-inch barrels in .22/250 Rem., .243 Win.and .308 Win. (SRP: $1,069), and 24-inch barrels in .270 WSM, .300 WSM and .325 WSM (SRP: $1,099), the average empty weight is 7.5 pounds. The Model 70 Ultimate Shadow features a composite stock with an integrated rubberized oval-dot gripping surface on the pistol grip and forend, a blued free-floating barrel (sans sights, drilled and tapped), MOA trigger system and controlled-round feed. Available in barrel lengths of 22, 24 or 26 inches, it is available for most popular standard calibers and three WSM calibers. Even lighter than the Coyote Light, it weighs between 6.5 to 7-pounds, depending on barrel length. SRP:$739 to $769. The Winchester Super X Semi-Auto Rifle has been updated for 2009 to include a new hinged floorplate with detachable box magazine feature. Available in popular standard calibers and magnum calibers, the updated Super X has a refined ergonomic styling with select grade walnut stock and forearm. SRP: $949 to $979. To celebrate the 100th anniversary of Theodore Roosevelt’s Grand African Safari and his contributions to the Smithsonian Institution, Winchester Repeating Arms will offer the Model 1895 Safari Centennial Lever Action Rifles this year. Two models will be offered, both in .405 Win. caliber. The Custom Grade Model has Grade III/IV walnut with deep engraving of many African big-game animals on a blued receiver, plus extensive gold-tone embellishments. It will be offered in a limited number of 1,000 two-gun sets that include the High Grade version. Each set will bear special matching serial numbers and is supplied with a complete collector’s package that includes a copy of President Roosevelt’s famous book, African Game Trails, and a deluxe double-gun case. SRP: $3,649. The High Grade model can be had by itself. It features a highly checkered Grade II walnut stock and a silver nitride receiver extensively engraved with gold-enhanced African game animals. SRP: $1,749.

that is a kick @$$ gun
remington model 700 is the best and has always been the best rifle
For a higher dollar rifle the Merkel is kind of ugly, I hope it shoots better than it looks.
Are the Browning Rifle's still made in JAPAN?
Shore is nice to be rich to afford them thar shooting peices.
ha who needs a rifle? bowhunting all the way
the marlin 30 06 is a pretty good rifle
exelent accuracy & chamberd in a 30-06 will take down any deer (hint: you have to hit the deer if you want it to go down)
i would have to agree with bowman. but also why buy such an exspensive rifle where for a lot less you can get almost as good of peformance
I'm somewhat disappointed with the new rifles at the Shot Show this year. The Browning X-Bolt has been out for awhile so there doesn't seem to be alot of innovation or shakers and bakers this year. Let's face it folks, there's a lot of fine weaponry out there today and a good gunsmith and reloader can make an excellent shooter out of just about anything the market has today.
It really doesn't matter who likes what the best or for that matter who thinks what's the best as long as they enjoy what they shoot. I really think most of us just want to express our preferences to others that might not know what to get and are looking.
I'm of the old adage of it's what you can shoot well that makes it good!
I shoot a savage 270 and I love it. I went Elk hunting in Kansas this January and brought down a 600 pound Elk and two Ibex in one shot!
I dont really think 30-06's are very good for long range.
Triple Kudo's and a well done to marlin rifles for there amazing variety of lever gun's.Out of 6 g/kids got two leftee's like myself!! Starrted all the leftee's on lever gun's and they are great shooters now!!Haven't justified buying a new stainless lever since still using the marlin 336 bought in the PX over 20 yrs ago and still purring like a kitten. do have to aggree with the writer who got an elk in kansas 270 is a mighty fine round and very popular in east oregon for elk there. Thks for listening. Carry ON!! YOC
Now that Remington and DPMS are owned by the same company I don’t understand why Remington doesn’t push the .260 Remington in an AR platform match grade rifle. DPMS already had an AR model available in .260 Remington and that was a great idea. I thought big green would take that ball and run with it.
Hey, let's bring on the realistically priced, yet quality firearms that shoot better MOA's than most in this elitist and unproven lot.How about Savage Arms, still one of the finest and most actions ever made....?
I have to agree with heaveg/ without some kind of change todays rifles couldn't be classified as ""NEW ""/ rather than trying to improve on something that isn't broke, maybe they could lower the cost of production so more people could own a selection of weapons and take the extra revenue and help provide and promote shooting events and access more places to do it. In turn this would require more ammuniton spent, and help safeguard our own interest by creating more interest in the shooting sports .
i ownthat gun that is the best gun ever made in my opinion
My father shot a savage .300 for forty years and we had venision on the table every year. He bought my brother and myself each one and we get deer every year. Both of us still shoot those same guns. Nothing wrong with shooting a cheaper gun as long as it does the job.
Can someone please explain why this gun is so much more expensive then anything else firing the same round from an AR frame?!?
How many more "quality bolt action rifles" does the world need? The firearms makers are going the way of the auto companies -- by cranking out slightly different versions of the same old, tired products. I dare someone to invent a new action !!!
I just want one good clean shot! thants all i ask
lol thats
Savage Arms are dead solid! but the quality is always in the shooter first.
Sure seems like the gun market is becoming a very competitive place. Sometimes that works for the consumer and other times it works against them. In this case, it worries me that there are getting to be too many guns competing for the same dollar. A little slump in gun sales and someone is going to go down.
for hunting big bear 375 any 375 is a good bet,check it out.
A few years ago I bought a Savage 110 bolt action .270. It was a package gun that I bought from a dealer I knew. It wasn't top of the line and I don't think I've heard too many people mention it and if they have It hasn't received glowing reports like remingtons 700 and others. The important thing is that it worked for me. It fir my budget, and I enjoy hunting with it. I have other rifles that I could an have used but this rifle seems to always surface to the top. It doesn't have to be expensive or fancy, it just has to be a good fit for you. I good rifle and some time on the range can go a long way towards making your hunting experience memorable. enjoy!
