The Winchester Model 70 Featherweight Compact rifle in .308 Winchester with a satin walnut stock (brand part no. 535201220) pairs a shorter length of pull with classic featherweight-cut checkering and a Schnabel forearm for smaller-statured shooters. Winchester cold hammer-forges the 20-inch free-floating featherweight-profile barrel and forges the steel short-action receiver with an integral recoil lug, bedded front and rear for consistent zero. The classic Controlled Round Feed bolt uses a claw extractor for full cartridge control, and the M.O.A. Trigger System delivers a precise, repeatable break. A three-position safety and Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad round out a rifle sized for new and smaller-framed hunters. Among compact bolt action rifles, this Model 70 Featherweight Compact configuration favors younger or smaller-statured shooters who want a full-featured Model 70.
