Winchester Model 70 Featherweight .30-06 Springfield 22"

The Rifle That Set the Standard

Since 1936, the Winchester Model 70 has been the benchmark against which every other bolt-action rifle is measured. This Featherweight variant carries on that legacy with a refined design built for hunters who value accuracy, reliability, and classic aesthetics.

Precision Engineering

The Model 70 starts with a forged steel receiver machined from a solid block of steel. The flat bottom profile provides greater surface area for bedding, which is accomplished using two-part epoxy at both the front and rear. This two-point bedding system keeps the action stable during firing, ensuring consistent accuracy shot after shot.

Controlled Round Feed

The Pre-'64 style Controlled Round Feed (CRF) design features a massive claw extractor that grips approximately one-quarter of the cartridge base. This design provides complete control from magazine to chamber through ejection, and even allows extraction of unfired cartridges that haven't fully chambered—a practical advantage in the field.

Trigger and Accuracy

The MOA Trigger System is a three-lever design that delivers the precision shooters demand. The cold hammer-forged, free-floating featherweight profile barrel is button rifled for superior accuracy and durability, with a recessed target crown for consistent performance.

Comfort and Control

• Stock: Satin-finished black walnut with classic featherweight cut checkering and Schnabel forearm
• Recoil Management: Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad reduces felt recoil
• Ejection: Blade-type ejector for reliable case removal
• Safety: Three-position safety for secure handling
• Magazine: Hinged floorplate with 5+1 capacity

The Bottom Line

This is a rifle for hunters and shooters who understand that quality construction and proven design never go out of style. The Model 70 Featherweight delivers the accuracy and reliability that have made it an American classic.
