The Winchester Model 70 Featherweight in .270 Winchester (brand part no. 535200226) is slimmer and lighter than other Model 70 variants while keeping the same controlled-round, claw-extractor feeding that helped make the platform famous. Winchester‘s three-position safety allows loading or unloading with the safety engaged in the mid position, and the M.O.A. trigger system breaks with zero creep and no overtravel. A hammer-forged, free-floated barrel and forged steel receiver with a bedded integral recoil lug support the rifle’s accuracy, and the satin walnut stock adds checkering, a Schnabel fore-end, and a Pachmayr recoil pad. Among hunting rifles in the bolt action rifles category, the Featherweight favors hunters who want a traditional walnut rifle that carries light in the field.
