Description
The Winchester Repeating Arms 535205138 Model 70 Alaskan Full Size 375 H&H Mag 3+1 25″ Brushed Polish Blued Sporter Barrel, Steel Receiver, Satin Walnut Monte Carlo Stock is a purpose-built rifle for the hunter who needs to stop big, dangerous game in its tracks. Chambered in the legendary .375 H&H Magnum, this full-size Alaskan model combines the time-tested Controlled Round Feed bolt with a forged steel receiver and a satin-finished walnut Monte Carlo stock. It handles heavy recoil without shifting zero, and the three-position safety lets you keep a round chambered while hiking thick brush. This is the same rifle that has anchored Alaska’s brown bear hunts for decades, and it’s ready for yours.

Key Features
- Controlled Round Feed Bolt – The CRF bolt grabs the cartridge rim from the magazine and guides it straight into the chamber. This prevents rim-lock and ensures reliable feeding even when you’re cycling the bolt fast in a hurry.
- Forged Steel Receiver with Flat Bottom Bedding – The receiver is machined from a solid block of steel, then bedded with two-part epoxy at the front and rear. This keeps the action locked tight inside the stock no matter how many rounds you put through it, maintaining zero shot after shot.
- Three-Position Safety – You can chamber a round, then slide the safety to the middle position to lock the bolt but keep the trigger blocked. When you see a bear at 50 yards, you don’t want to be fumbling with a safety that only has two positions.
- Satin Walnut Monte Carlo Stock – The Monte Carlo comb gives you a natural cheek weld that aligns your eye with the scope. The satin finish sheds rain and snow without glare, and the wood is selected for strength and stability.
- Brushed Polish Blued Sporter Barrel – The 25″ barrel is contoured to balance weight and stiffness. The brushed polish finish reduces reflections that could spook game, and the bluing protects against rust in wet conditions.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for the hunter who chases dangerous game – brown bear, moose, Cape buffalo, or elk in thick timber. It’s for the guy who needs a rifle that will feed and fire every time, even after a tumble in the mud. If you guide in Alaska or hunt the Rockies for big bears, the Model 70 Alaskan is your partner. It’s also for the collector who wants a classic American bolt-action that still sets the standard.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Reliable CRF feeding, rock-solid bedding, three-position safety that works with gloves, classic walnut stock, and a caliber that stops anything on the continent.
- Cons: The .375 H&H Magnum kicks hard – expect significant recoil, especially with heavy loads. The satin walnut stock is beautiful but may show dings faster than synthetic stocks in rough country.

FAQ
Does the Model 70 Alaskan come with iron sights?
No, this model is designed for scope mounting. The receiver is drilled and tapped for Winchester bases, and the Monte Carlo stock provides a proper cheek weld for scoped shooting.
What is the magazine capacity?
The rifle has a 3+1 capacity – three rounds in the blind magazine plus one in the chamber.
Can I use this rifle for elk hunting?
Absolutely. The .375 H&H Mag is more than adequate for elk, moose, and even bison. It’s also legal in many states for deer and black bear, though it’s overkill for smaller game.
Is the stock finished for wet weather?
The satin finish offers some moisture resistance, but like any wood stock, it’s best to keep it lightly oiled and dry after a wet hunt. The blued barrel also needs routine care to prevent rust.
