Winchester Model 70 Featherweight Compact .243 Win 20in

About this product

The Winchester Model 70 Featherweight Compact continues the Model 70 heritage in a lighter, shorter platform built for smaller-framed shooters, youth, and mountain use. This version pairs a free-floating 20″ cold hammer-forged barrel with the classic Pre-’64 Controlled Round Feed bolt design and a three-position safety. Refined features include the M.O.A. Trigger System, a jeweled bolt body with a knurled handle, and a satin walnut fixed stock with a shorter length of pull to improve fit and handling. The rifle is finished in brushed polish blued metal and ships with a Pachmayr decelerator recoil pad for added shooter comfort.
