The Winchester Model 70 Featherweight stands as a testament to timeless craftsmanship and unyielding precision. Since its introduction in 1936, this rifle has set the standard by which all other bolt-action rifles are judged. The latest iteration of the Model 70 continues this proud legacy with enhancements that ensure it remains at the forefront of performance and reliability.
This particular model is chambered in .243 Winchester, making it an ideal choice for hunters pursuing deer, varmints, hogs, and antelope. Weighing just under seven pounds at 6 lbs 12 oz and measuring an overall length of 42-1/4 inches, the Featherweight lives up to its name with a design that's both manageable in weight yet steadfastly robust.
The heart of this rifle lies in its action—a Pre-'64 style controlled round feeding system with a claw extractor that ensures smooth operation free from double feeds or jams. Its three-position safety allows you to load or unload while maintaining peace of mind through secure handling.
Central to delivering unparalleled accuracy is Winchester's M.O.A. Trigger System—an engineering marvel offering zero creep and no overtravel post-release. This trigger works harmoniously with the cold hammer-forged free-floating barrel and forged steel receiver featuring a bedded integral recoil lug for stability shot after shot.
Aesthetically pleasing yet functionally superior, the satin-finished Grade I walnut stock boasts classic featherweight cut checkering along with a Schnabel fore-end—hallmarks of refined elegance synonymous with enduring quality. To mitigate felt recoil effectively during extended shooting sessions or larger calibers' use cases alike sits a premium Pachmayr Decelerator Recoil Pad.
