.300 H&H Mag Bull Gun - 1958
The Bull Gun is a unique and hard-to-find model 70 configuration. Designed to compete for the Wimbledon Cup in 1000 yard matches at Camp Perry. The Bull gun is specifically designed for ultra-long-range accuracy. Bull guns are in the marksman / target rifle design, but with a heavier and longer barrel than a target rifle. The legendary sniper Carlos Hathcock took the Wimbledon Cup in 1965 using a Winchester model 70 bull gun.
