The Legendary Winchester Model 70
Since 1936, the Winchester Model 70 has been the gold standard by which all other bolt-action rifles are measured. This Featherweight Compact model carries on that tradition with a purpose-built design for hunters and shooters who value accuracy, reliability, and handling.
Precision Engineering
Receiver & Action
- Forged steel short-action receiver machined from a solid block of steel
- Integral recoil lug for maximum strength and durability
- Bedded front and rear with two-part epoxy to eliminate shift during firing
- Pre-'64 style controlled round feed with massive claw extractor
The claw extractor is a hallmark of Winchester's design philosophy. It grips approximately one-quarter of the cartridge base, maintaining full control from magazine to chamber through ejection. This design even allows extraction of unfired cartridges that aren't fully chambered—a practical advantage in the field.
Barrel & Accuracy
- 20" cold hammer-forged featherweight profile barrel
- Button-rifled for superior accuracy and durability
- Free-floating design eliminates contact with the stock
- Recessed target crown protects the muzzle
Trigger & Controls
- MOA Trigger System: the most precise three-lever trigger mechanism available
- Three-position safety for secure carry and quick deployment
- Blade-type ejector for positive case removal
Stock & Handling
The Featherweight Compact features a satin-finished walnut stock with a shorter length of pull—ideal for shooters of smaller stature or those wearing heavy clothing. Classic featherweight cut checkering provides secure grip in all conditions, while the Schnabel forearm offers traditional aesthetics and control.
