Winchester Model 70 Featherweight 270 Win 22" Walnut

The Rifle That Set the Standard

Since 1936, the Winchester Model 70 has been the benchmark by which all other bolt-action rifles are measured. The Model 70 Featherweight carries forward that legacy with a refined, lighter profile that doesn't compromise on the mechanical excellence that made the original famous.

Legendary Controlled-Round Feed

The heart of the Model 70 is its Pre-'64 style controlled-round-feed system. A massive claw extractor secures approximately one-quarter of the cartridge's base, maintaining full control from the moment the round leaves the magazine through chamber entry and final ejection. This design also allows extraction of unfired cartridges that haven't fully chambered—a safety feature that has saved hunters and shooters countless times.

Precision Engineering Throughout

Receiver & Bedding: The forged steel receiver begins as a solid block of steel with a flat bottom profile that maximizes surface area for bedding. Two-part epoxy bedding at front and rear prevents any shift during firing, maintaining zero integrity shot after shot.

Barrel: The cold hammer-forged, free-floating featherweight profile barrel is button-rifled for superior accuracy and durability. A recessed target crown protects the muzzle from damage.

Trigger System: Winchester's MOA Trigger System is the finest trigger offered in a bolt-action rifle—zero take-up, zero creep, and zero overtravel after the firing pin releases.

Classic Featherweight Profile

The Grade I walnut stock features the iconic angled comb and Schnabel fore-end with elegant cut checkering and satin finish. A Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad manages felt recoil without adding bulk. Polished metal surfaces and a jeweled bolt body add traditional elegance.
