Winchester's legendary Model 70 Featherweight in .300 Win Mag combines a lightweight profile with controlled-round-feed reliability. Features a free-floated barrel, MOA trigger system, walnut stock with Schnabel fore-end, and 3-round capacity. 7 lbs 4 oz.
Since 1936, the Winchester Model 70 has set the standard by which all other bolt-action rifles are measured. The Featherweight variant delivers that legendary performance in a trim, lightweight package ideal for hunters who value maneuverability without sacrificing accuracy or reliability.
The heart of the Model 70's reputation lies in its Pre-'64 style controlled-round-feed (CRF) design. A massive claw extractor secures approximately one-quarter of the cartridge base, maintaining absolute control from the magazine through chamber and ejection. This design prevents double-feed malfunctions and allows extraction of unfired cartridges even if not fully chambered.
Receiver and Barrel: The forged steel receiver starts from a solid block of steel with a flat bottom profile for superior bedding surface area. Two-part epoxy bedding at front and rear prevents shifting during firing. The cold hammer-forged, free-floating barrel features a recessed target crown and button rifling for exceptional accuracy and durability.
MOA Trigger System: Winchester's three-lever trigger design delivers zero creep and no overtravel—the most precise trigger system in its class.
The Model 70 Featherweight delivers the accuracy, reliability, and handling characteristics that have made Winchester's design the choice of serious hunters and marksmen for nearly nine decades.
