Frequently Asked Questions
How does the M.O.A. Trigger System improve accuracy on the Model 70 Extreme VSX?
The M.O.A. (Minute of Angle) Trigger System is a user-adjustable design with zero take-up, zero creep, and zero overtravel. This results in a clean, consistent break that allows shooters to maintain precise sight alignment through the trigger pull — a critical advantage when hunting at long range or under field conditions where trigger control matters most.
What makes Pre-64 controlled round feed reliable for hunting dangerous or large game?
Winchester's Pre-64 controlled round feed (CRF) mechanism grips each cartridge from the moment it leaves the magazine, maintaining positive control through the entire feeding and ejection cycle. This dramatically reduces the chance of a malfunction during a high-pressure situation in the field, making it a preferred action type among dangerous-game hunters and guides who demand absolute reliability.
Is the .308 Winchester an appropriate cartridge for elk and other large North American game?
Yes — the .308 Winchester is a proven, versatile cartridge well-suited for deer, black bear, and elk at ethical hunting distances, typically out to 400–500 yards with quality ammunition. Its manageable recoil, wide availability of hunting loads, and excellent terminal performance make it one of the most popular big-game cartridges in North America. The Model 70's muzzle brake further tames recoil, helping hunters stay on target for a confident second shot if needed.
