The Winchester Model 70 Featherweight Compact in .243 Win (MPN 535201212) shortens the classic Model 70’s stock and barrel for a smaller-framed shooter, while keeping the famous three-position safety and Controlled Round Feed (CRF) bolt design. Winchester finishes this rifle in brushed polish blued metal with a satin walnut, feather-checkered fixed stock, and pairs it with the M.O.A. trigger system for a precise, repeatable break. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounting. Among precision hunting rifles in the bolt action rifles category, this Featherweight Compact favors smaller-statured or new hunters who want a shortened, classic-action .243 Win rifle.
