The Winchester Model 70 Featherweight .270 Win is a long-action bolt-action hunting rifle in the AA French walnut Featherweight configuration (Winchester part no. 535247226). It pairs a free-floating Featherweight-profile steel barrel with the Pre-’64 style controlled round feed action and claw extractor that Model 70 fans look for. A satin-finished AA-grade French walnut stock with Featherweight-cut checkering, a Schnabel fore-end and a Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad completes the classic look. This version gives you a proven .270 that suits deer, antelope and hogs, in a rifle light enough to carry all day.

• The barrel is 22 inches with the Featherweight contour, which keeps the rifle light and quick to the shoulder.
