The Winchester Model 70 Featherweight Compact 6.5 PRC Rifle is a lightweight bolt-action rifle with a 20-inch barrel and a satin walnut stock cut shorter for smaller-framed shooters (brand part no. 535201294). Winchester carries the Featherweight heritage over to a smaller platform that fits compact shooters better than a full-size rifle. The short barrel and flat-shooting 6.5 PRC make it a quick, handy mountain rifle.
