Winchester Model 70 Ultimate Shadow Rifle 535210230, 7mm Rem Mag, 26" BBL, Bolt Action, Mossy Oak Break-Up Infinity Syn Stock, Satin Blued Finish, 3 + 1 Rounds
At first glance, the Model 70 Ultimate Shadow, with its flowing lines and integrated, rubberized, oval-dot gripping surfaces on the pistol grip and fore-end looks very different from other composite rifles. When you pick it up, you'll know why. The lightweight synthetic stock is finished in Mossy Oak Break Up Infinity Camo and immediately gives you a comfortable, secure hold even when wet or cold. The sporter weight free-floating barrel and M.O.A Trigger System contributes to exceptional accuracy and its classic, Pre-'64 Controlled Round Feed action continues to make the Ultimate Shadow's receiver the most reliable and smoothest cycling in the industry. Rifle also features WinSorb Technology Recoil Pad for optimal protection against felt recoil. The Ultimate Shadow is offered in a 22", 24" or 26" blued barrel and available in popular standard calibers and three WSM calibers.

The 7mm Remington Magnum was introduced in 1962 in the new Remington Model 700 bolt-action. Gunwriters Les Bowman, Warren Page, and others had been clamoring for a fast 7mm, and the Remington's "Big Seven" was the answer. Except the very similar 275 H&H dates to 1912, and the 7mm Weatherby Magnum to 1944. No matter; the 7mm Remington Magnum was a huge success. Viewed as more versatile, it blew the 264 Winchester Magnum off the market and went on to become the world's most popular "magnum" cartridge. Though since surpassed in this role by the 300 Winchester Magnum, the 7mm Remington Magnum remains a world-standard hunting cartridge, adequate for game up to elk and moose, flat-shooting, and able to achieve meaningful velocities with bullets up to 175 grains--but with less recoil than the fast .30-calibers. Most firearms manufacturers chamber to it, and the selection of factory loads is rich and varied.
