The Winchester Model 70 Featherweight is a lightweight bolt-action sporting rifle chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor that pairs a slender, free-floating barrel with a Grade I satin walnut stock. It uses Winchester’s Pre-’64 style controlled-round feed with a claw extractor and a three-position safety for reliable operation in the field. The action includes the M.O.A. Trigger System for a crisp, consistent trigger break and a Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad to reduce felt recoil.
