Some rifles need an introduction. The Model 70 Featherweight is not one of them. Hunters have been hauling this rifle up ridgelines and through timber for generations, and this .308 Win version is the configuration most folks picture when they think of a proper walking deer rifle. At 6 pounds 12 ounces with a 22 inch barrel, it rides a sling comfortably and comes to the shoulder fast when a buck steps out with no warning.
The heart of this rifle is the pre-64 style controlled round feed action. The big claw extractor grabs the cartridge rim as it leaves the magazine and steers it straight into the chamber, whether the rifle is level, tilted, or pointed downhill at an awkward angle. A fixed blade ejector kicks empties clear every time. The three-position safety lets you cycle the bolt and unload with the safety still engaged, and the jeweled bolt body with knurled handle runs smooth right out of the box. Winchester's M.O.A. Trigger System breaks clean with no take-up, creep, or overtravel, which makes a real difference when you are squeezing off a shot at distance.
The Grade I walnut stock wears a satin finish, sharp cut checkering, and the signature Schnabel fore-end that makes a Featherweight recognizable from across the room. Underneath the good looks, the forged steel receiver is bedded front and rear at the integral recoil lug to keep your zero locked in, and the hammer-forged 22 inch barrel is fully free-floated with a recessed target crown and 1:12 twist that handles common .308 bullet weights well. A Pachmayr Decelerator pad takes the sting out of recoil, though .308 in this platform is pleasant to begin with.
Capacity is 5+1 through an internal magazine with a hinged floorplate, so there is no detachable box to lose or rattle. The receiver comes drilled and tapped with no iron sights, ready for the scope of your choice. Deer, hogs, antelope, black bear, this rifle covers all of it without complaint.
No, this rifle ships without iron sights. The receiver comes drilled and tapped from the factory, so all you need is a set of Model 70 bases and rings for the scope of your choice. Most buyers plan for glass anyway, so Winchester keeps the barrel clean and lets you set it up your way.
No, it feeds from an internal magazine with a hinged floorplate, holding 5 rounds of .308 plus one in the chamber. The floorplate drops open for quick and easy unloading. Many hunters prefer this setup since there is no magazine to lose in the field or rattle while you are stalking.
It weighs 6 pounds 12 ounces bare, which is genuinely light for a walnut-stocked rifle with a forged steel receiver. Add a modest scope and sling and you are still in a very comfortable carry range for long days in steep country. The 22 inch barrel keeps it balanced and quick to shoulder in tight cover too.
The pre-64 style Model 70 action uses a large claw extractor that grips the cartridge rim the moment it leaves the magazine and guides it into the chamber. That means reliable feeding at any angle, whether you are cycling the bolt fast on a follow-up shot or working the action while pointed downhill. It also prevents double feeds, and the fixed blade ejector clears empties positively every time.
