The Winchester Model 70 Featherweight rifle in 6.8 Western with a 24-inch barrel (brand part no. 535200299) pairs the Model 70’s controlled-round-feed action with classic blued-steel-and-walnut styling, chambered for a modern, flat-shooting long-range cartridge. Winchester finishes the barrel and receiver in blued steel and dresses the action in a checkered walnut stock, and the receiver is drilled and tapped for straightforward scope mounting. A hinged floorplate feeds the 3-round internal magazine, and a three-position safety gives shooters a bolt-lock option. Among walnut-stocked, modern-cartridge bolt action rifles, this Featherweight configuration favors hunters who want classic Model 70 styling paired with 6.8 Western’s long-range performance.
