Description
Winchester Model 70 Featherweight Bolt-Action Rifle
The Winchester® Model 70® is the bolt-action rifle that all others are compared to. The Model 70 Featherweight is slightly slimmer, trimmer, and lighter weight than the Sporter model to enhance fast handling as well as ease of carry. The Featherweight uses the same controlled-round, claw-extractor as the "pre-'64" style, which grabs hold of the cartridge's rim shortly after it leaves the magazine and guides it to the chamber, regardless of the angle the rifle is being held, and prevents jams caused by double feeding. The large claw, Mauser-type extractor also provides maximum surface contact on the cartridge's rim for sure extraction of the spent casing; and a solid blade-type ejector reliably clears empty cases from the action. A 3-position safety allows the shooter to load or unload the Model 70 Featherweight with the safety engaged in the mid position. The bolt is locked down with the safety fully to the rear, where it is extremely unlikely to accidently get knocked to the fire position when carrying the rifle in rugged terrain. Winchester's M.O.A.™ Trigger System has zero trigger "creep", and no "overtravel" after the firing pin has been released. The excellent trigger, combined with a hammer-forged, free-floated barrel, and forged steel receiver with a bedded integral recoil lug provide exceptional accuracy. The satin-finished, walnut stock features cut checkering, a Schnabel fore-end, and a Pachmayr recoil pad. The Winchester Model 70 Featherweight Bolt-Action Rifle is an outstanding choice for avid hunters who are looking for a quick-handling rifle that delivers exceptional accuracy with modern, long-range cartridges.

Really good!This is a really good rifle. It is probably the best version of model 70 ever done. The bolt is smooth and the whole metal work looks really precise. Also it is a very accurate rifle, mine is 30-06 and is shoot in less than 1 MOA any 180 grains factory ammo that I have tried. ( Barnex VOR-TX 180 grains, Winchester Super-X 180 grains , Remington core-lokt 180 grains)

Exceptional accuracyI purchased this rifle in April at the Gonzales LA store. Trying it out today for the first time, out of the box, it produced astounding results. My load was a mid range 42 grains of IMR 4320 behind Sierra's 168 grain Match King bullet (#2200C).
It was a little windy so shot at 50 yards. The first three shot group, blowing the protective oil out of the barrel, was a little high and to the right and measured .932. The second group, after a scope adjustment, was centered and a little low. It measured .388. After another sight correction the third group was just above center. I was "blown away" with one ragged hole - group no bigger than .200.
My scope is a Leupold compact 3x9 with a 33mm objective. I mounted the scope using Leupold's QR bases and rings. (highly recommended).
Obviously, I have an MOA rifle that gives target performance in a hunting weight rifle. It doesn't get any better than this.

As good as Pre-64I am blessed enough to have multiple Winchesters including this Featherweight I purchased in 2012 in 300 WSM, with a 180 gr Winchester Ballistic Tip it drops large game in their tracks. I have harvested many whitetail with this rifle with one shot, no steps, done. I was so impressed I bought the Model 70 Sporter in 325 WSM, 270 WSM and 7MM WSM and three of the four were made in New Haven, The Featherweight in 300 WSM is my favorite. All shoot dime groups at a 100 yards, The most accurate is the 7MM WSM . My Pre-64 are awesome as well , I love all Winchesters.

M70 in 30-06, and .308I have both the m70 supergrade in 30-06 and featherweight compact in .308 win. Both guns are of excellent fit and finish and are built very solid. I researched every option: tika, remington, sako, ruger, savage, etc.. IMP Nothing is built better for the price point. The guns are a touch heavier than others but that is due to the build quality. I use the compact feather for the longer hikes n such. These guns also fit my body type perfect (even the compact). The only complaint is the safety is a tad noisy so switch it off quietly when that dinner walks out.

My "Go To" rifleI own bout 90 guns. For rifles a Winchester Model 70 is my favorite. I have one in pre-64 308 and two of these modern feather weights one in 30-06 and one in 257 Roberts. Going out the door, I grab the 06 and find it a perfect balance and verry accurate. I dropped a ten point buck on the dead run at 130 paces with one shot. I credit the rifle rather than my skills. Now I'm going to get me one in 243 Win.

one shot take aim from
kick,s like a frigging mulei have had one of these for many years in a 3006, for the rifle it is good and use only the open ramp sight, to bad it is so far down the barrel and would be more esy for quick long shot,s as the sights so close together it take,s a bit more time to set bull,s eye at 800 yard,s other than hig recoil it has served me well, one not need a scope to be acurate with this riffle, i would not campare it with a thompson preditor as they have most any rifle beat by a whole shooting range, i know that as i have both and compete,
