You all have been asking to see more about the Winchester Model 70-35 big bore pcp air rifle so here you go! In this episode we’ll take a look at Aaron out in the field taking some big jack rabbits with the Winchester Model 70-35. While some may think it’s overkill for these jacks, the .35 cal is really a great caliber for getting those one shot, clean, humane kills. As airgun hunters, that’s what it’s about getting those clean ethical, one shot kills with our airguns. We’ll also do a quick review so you guys and gals that want some technical data get some of those details as well. Both the .35 and .45 cal Winchester rifles are frankly awesome PCP air rifles that bring a lot of great capabilities to the market under a great name, Winchester. We hope you like this video.

It's a great time to be an Airgunner!!!!

Nice looking rifle that performs well from reports. Unfortunately, what it is good at is of no use to me. Anything up to deer size can be handled by one of my .22's. My need is for a full power deer rifle that isn't fugly, in a legal caliber. The model 70 looks positively normal compared to many made today.
Do they ever plan to make a full power two good shot deer hunter in 40 or 50?
If the Hammer looked that good you could sell several truckloads here before season.
Make mine a full power 40 with a two shot shuttle that would be legal to hunt deer with please!

Please understand this is not criticism of the Model 70 as it is now. Just a different use..
I am lookig for a two shot deer rifle in the 350 foot pound range minimum. I am looking for a woods range deer rifle for a place where I have killed two deer over 300 pounds live weight. One large enough I literally could not drag him out alone, and I was a young pup then. .
Most are smaller of course!
I want one as hot as the rifle is able, and a finisher if required. No shot curve, and if that second shot isn't a little less than the first, put a bigger hammer spring in. 
A "big game special" version of the Model 70 if you will. Not looking for increased range. Just more thump, in a package that is pleasing to the eye and that doesn't look like I bought it at a Rambo convention.

Yep.. I get you.. Here's an option that may be more what you are looking for.. It's single shot though:

These are custom built one at a time for each customer. He makes them in .308, .357, and .457 as well as a 20 gauge shot gun. You will get 2 to 4 shots depending on how you want to have it setup. The .457 can be setup for nearly 700 FPE and get 2 shots (one massive one, one decent follow up), or you can have it setup for 500 FPE and get 4 shots. Anyway, take a look it may work for you.

Cheers
Rick

At least.40 to be legal. I use a Crossbow today.
If I was going to spend that kind of money, I would have a muzzleloader smoothbore air gun with a dump valve that is knocked open by an old style sidelock made. Full stock and looking almost exactly like a reproducton 1825 era muzzleloader with a light 50 cal barrel. Something like a Green Mountain 7/8ths by 36. I would have a small regulated bottle mounted inside a cow horn and load the air into the valve after the projectile/patched ball is loaded. No attempt to hide its bark.
Ths allows for a match grade set trigger and the long barrel actually looks normal.
I shot an experimental version that used a tank and a valve to pressurize the firing valve after the barrel was loaded, but it was more of a proof of concept plumbing nightare than usable piece.
