The Winchester Model 70 Featherweight is a lightweight bolt-action rifle chambered in .243 Winchester and built with classic Model 70 features updated for modern accuracy and handling. The action uses Pre-’64 style controlled round feeding with a claw extractor and a jeweled bolt body; the M.O.A. Trigger System provides a crisp release for precision shooting. The rifle pairs a cold hammer-forged, free-floating featherweight profile barrel with a Grade I satin walnut stock featuring a Schnabel fore-end and featherweight cut checkering. Its configuration is focused on field use—easy carry, dependable feed and precise shot placement for hunting and varmint work.
