From the Vault: Winchester Model 70 Safari Express

- Brownells Public Relations Specialist Roy Hill shows us his Winchester Model 70 Safari Express chambered in .458 Win Mag. Introduced in 1956 as a pure dangerous game stopper, the belted .458 Winchester Magnum packs a 500-grain soft-nose jacketed bullet zooming at about 2,200 fps. This bullet alone is bigger and heavier than a 9mm Luger pistol round. The first gun chambered in .458 Win Mag? The Winchester Model 70. Roy found this beauty at the Brownells Retail Store and gave back some of that month's salary to walk away with it. He keeps it at his desk, just in case he's called on to dispatch a pack of rogue elephants terrorizing Central Iowa (we all feel safer knowing he's prepared!). He gives us a tour of its features, including a pre-'64 controlled-feed bolt, Express open sights, and classic barrel-band sling swivel attachment. How does it shoot? The recoil is... authoritative. Roy shares some tips on how to shoot a "dangerous game magnum" Safari Express.

This guy needs to do more videos for Brownells! Nothing against any of the other reps, but this guy seems to have a little more charisma in front of the camera.
Roy is all around Fabulous!
If you keep a 458 win mag at your desk you are my new favorite person!
No elephants, but we do have a stray Bison terrorizing the cornfields up here near Hudson, IA. : )
Best desk gun ever made !!
She's a beaut! Thanks for sharing it. If I worked there, I would fall victim far too often for what is in the retail store too. 😉
The struggle is real!
Its hard not to do so! lol
That's what i call a BIG BOY gun. Thank you!
Beautiful rifle. I have shot the same rifle in 375H&H and that was enough gun for me. I would not enjoy anything bigger unless it's mounted on a tripod!
Great video. Yes it must be hard on the bank balance working at Brownells :)
This is the truth hahaha😂
You must have a sizable desk.
I love my M70 (375H&H) Safari Express too !!!
I once had the chance to pick up a Ruger 77 in .458 Win Mag, but as I wasn't expecting Godzilla to come to call, I decided to pass on it.
Hahaha we hear you!
What a classic rifle in a classic caliber. I have a 458 WinMag in a Ruger Number One, which is "almost" as nice as your 70!
Great gun love it I'd say it's a blast to shoot. Thank you for sharing.
Great presenter
Roy is a wonderful and knowledgeable gentleman!
Very Interesting
Great video, Roy!
Thanks, Roy, for this interesting, fun video. And, it’s great to know that if a Soviet (yeah, they call themselves Russians now, but nomenclature and other meaningless symbols are the ONLY differences) is ever marauding in Iowa, you’ll stop it with a single round.
Hello everyone how's your day going ❤️❤️🕊️😍
It’s 2020, nobody having a good day ... just joking ! You rock !
@@firemasterx23 thanks again and you do too and Brownells as well ❤️💕🕊️💕
Stellar!
@@CalebSavant sweet 💕🕊️✨❤️ have a great day 😁🤩❤️😁
If your gonna bring one gun; bring the max! 😉👍🏻 love to have a Winchester model 70 big bore....I’m leaning more towards the 416 Remington cartridge. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻
Nice rifle! Big bores are a great part of the shooting sports.
I love how you acknowledge the absurdity of needing the gun at your desk lmao
Amazing, beautiful gun btw
I have the Alaskan counterpart to that, in .338.
I've got the same rifle in 375H&H, an incredible gun. If the 375H&H is a favorite of Mr Boddington, that's enough of a recommendation for me.
BTW, you must have a helluva desk!
Yep Roy, your .458 win safari is a great gun. Buuuut, try another "Roy's" line of T-Rex blasters, as in Weatherby Mark-V in calibers .378 Wby, 460 Wby, and .458 Lott. Any one of which I can personally attest to (having been a gunsmith there for 12 years) will take the curl out of your hair. I always looked forward to shooting the mild .458 Win after getting pummeled by the Big-3.
For most people 460 wby is too much gun.
@@cezao93 Yeah, the .460 Wby. is pretty much OP, but the .378 Wby. it was derived from is on an whole other plain of self abuse. It's recoil impulse through the stock's comb is so violent and sharp. It's like getting punched in the jaw with each pull of the trigger. seriously no fun at all.
Lucky guy, he gets to keep that beast at his desk.
You gotta be prepared for when those nasty rouge circus elephants storm central Iowa
I have it in a 375 H&H, really love it. In the 375, to me, the recoil is similar to a 12 gauge shotgun, which shouldn't bother anyone, IMO. I've been considering something in a 416 - not because I need it but I'm just a fan of big bore.
Recoil management - the more recoil a weapon has, the more important it is to have the weapon properly fitted, especially in pull length by knowledgeable gun smith. An improper fit is not doing to direct the recoil forces as well and, depending on how bad the fit is, can be very punishing. Plus we all are different on how sensitive to recoil we are. I'm not particularly sensitive at all, but being on the big and tall side, I found that getting the pull length right is crucial to keep my thumb and/or scope objective from giving my glasses a thump.
I found the action and accuracy of my Safari Express 375 to be very good. Butter smooth action, and I did have the gun shop glass bed the action to help avoid any future cracking around the action bolts that some have reported. Put 100 rds through it in load development. In mine, the Barnes 300g TSX is just fantastic with approx .75"-1.25" 3 shot groups at 100 yds, pushing approx 2500 fps. The variance in group size was more on the shooter (me) than the gun, IMO.
Excellent rifle excellent cartridge
I have a post 64 mod 70 Safari Express.
Took a Cape Buffalo with 400gr Trophy bonded handload.
Exilerating rifle to shoot.
Also good for use as an anti aircraft weapon!
I see your alg defense barrel nut wrench hangin!
Pretty nice rifle👍I bought a Win 70, just use another caliber, mine will be a 416 Rem Mag (shipping time is horrible in germany) & hell yeah, 458 Win Mag kicks back😎I got the bruise of my Ruger for an entire week
This is way better than Ron Swanson's desk sawed off shotgun. What is the purpose of the belted part of the brass cartridge? Strength?
I have my eyes on this rifle in 375 h&h mag at my local shop. You know, just in case I encounter a zombie run away dump truck.
There’s on on Gunbroker like new right now and I’m very tempted!
@@G19Jeeper Don't let it slip away. Is it a pre 64 or a Portugese made one? The ones made in Portugal are very well made. Im very impressed with mine. Phenomenal trigger and slick action. Good luck and hope you get it.
.458 Winchester Magnum: If this doesn't stop it, use a 20mm.
Good enough for Harry Callahan, good enough for me.
Rampaging elephants must be a metaphor. That thing must be incredibly loud. What a bullet there. We need a soda video, actually go visit Hickock45 with it. It would be a great episode.
I used to own a md 70 SE 458. It had some gold inlay and trigger. I thought all safari express models had that. Was mine altered or a high end model?
That's on my bucket list of chit I don't need ❤❤❤
What kind of gun did the farmer use to kill the elephant?
That's a big dog
Woof Woof friend.
I have one new in the box. How do I find the value?
458 Win Mag... "Moderation in the face of evil is no virtue, and extremism in defense of liberty is no vice." Benjamin Franklin
Story from my state is of an escaped tiger in Jackson that a police sharpshooter had to kill because the vets couldn't hit it with a tranq dart.
m2hmghb why didnt the vets give him the trank guns?
@@natural-born_pilot Not allowed to by law. Between the meds in the darts and the fact the officers weren't qualified on them it's a legal nightmare for everyone.
m2hmghb There are many sound reasons for qualification standards mostly dealing with safety and completing ajob or task in the right maner. But sometimes the situation is altered and in an instant the laws or standards are ineffective such as in this case. Its a time when professionals on the front line put qual standards aside and allow the one most qualified to accomplish the mission. Its the leway given to police officers to enforce to the letter of the law or spirit of the law. The dose in the dart is already set by the QUALIFIED vet when the trank round is chambered, the vets couldnt hit their ass if they could step behind themselves, and the animal is more than likely on the endangered list so you tell me whats there to be qualified on? Bottom line here is trank and live or deadly force and off to the dump!
Pac hunters in some Asian countries prefer .375 minimum ,.458 Win is much liked also when they are hunting Maneating Tigers , for Bear also there they use the same, for Leopard something smaller, for pac and maneaters .
Do want

The next interesting Gun is Weatherby 378 magnum
grizzly bear rifle
Would this be sufficient enough to stop a gorilla in one shot?
If it's not already I'd knock the barrel back to 20in. In the jungles of the Congo hunting Forest elephant you could be as close as 10 yd-short barreled carbine! Or the red forest Buffalo.
When you buy one knock yourself out.
Have the same gun.the swedish moose dont like it...............
You should get it rechambered to 458 Lott.
I think is not a easy thing, since the 458 Lott need a Long Magnum action.
@@cezao93 Cesar, it is actually a very easy thing to do. I had it done to my rifle before Winchester was smart enough to offer it. If the action is long enough to accommodate a 375 H&H, it can accommodate a Lott. ** I also love the 416 Remington.
@@martinstiastny7679 i see many people say that the 550 is easier to convert to Long Magnum caliber because of the size of the action. Aniways i far from being a expert on this.
@@cezao93 The CZ 550 (no longer made), is a big action AND factory chambered for the Lott. ** If you have a desire for one, I would suggest you grab one. You can alway shoot the 458 Winchester cartridge in the gun. Much easier to find and really adequate for most everything that walks. * If you ever have the opportunity to hunt water buffalo, cape buffalo, or elephant, you can step up to the Lott.
@@cezao93 Personally, I feel that the game hunted should be given all due respect. There are no more WDM Bell characters walking around. We are basically all "novice" hunters when we are hunting dangerous game (save the very, very few like Boddington or J. Alan Smith who hunt buffalo every time they're in Africa). The game deserves our respect. It's just feeling on the matter.
that's a shame what happened to that elephant, God's wild creatures don't belong in a cage. There's some animals I don't like to see in captivity, feel the same about people that buy parrots as pets. That animal don't belong in a cage.
Shoot em for meat only or leave em alone, also there ain't nothing wrong with a cat or dog they make great pets, lets leave our wildlife to roam bros.
