The Winchester Model 70 Featherweight chambered in .25-06 Remington (Winchester part no. 535200225) carries forward a design Winchester has built since 1936 and long treated as the benchmark other bolt-action rifles are measured against. The forged steel receiver starts from a solid block of steel with a flat bottom profile for maximum bedding surface, and the classic Controlled Round Feed bolt uses a massive claw extractor that grips the cartridge from the magazine through ejection. The famous 3-position safety operates under the thumb of the firing hand, and a satin walnut stock with fixed feather checkering is paired with a brushed polish blued metal finish. The 22-inch barrel and 5+1 capacity round out a rifle built for classic big-game hunting.
