WINCHESTER MODEL 70 FEATHERWEIGHT – RIFLE REVIEW
This elegant hunting rifle is truly a featherweight – and the current production Model 70 is even lighter thanks to CNC machined superior steel. While the recoil can be punishing, it’s important to keep in mind the rifle is designed for a hunter to hike with all day and shoot sparingly. And yet, this powerfully hard-hitting gun is willing to shoot as many rounds as you can handle. In fact, your shoulder will likely quit long before the time-tested Mauser action of the Model 70 will give out. For bolt-gun enthusiasts, the rifle sports a controlled round push feed system (CRPFS) – a combination of a controlled round feed system (CRFS) and a push round feed system (PRFS). Why is this important? In theory, you have the advantages of a secure CRFS extractor while being able to single-load like a PRFS gun. For the average hunter, this doesn’t mean much, but for the purist or bench-rest shooter, it makes a difference. All in all, the Model 70 surpasses expectations as a hunting rifle. It will give you all the power you need without any of the weight, making it the perfect deer rifle for the hunter with too much heavy gear. ...more
Winchester Model 70 Featherweight Review - Part 1
the new Model 70 Featherweight offers good wood and bluing for the money. Throw in the upgraded trigger and this is definitely the best Model 70 yet, although they will probably never be worth as much as the collectable pre-64 variety. You should not consider the Featherweight if you're looking for a 223, a left handed bolt gun, or simply prefer a two position safety system. If you're a fan of the Mauser style action and want to consider other options look to either the Ruger Hawkeye or any of the Kimber rifles. The Ruger offerings are similar in style to Winchester and have more variations that are priced $50-$70 below the Featherweight. Kimber also has a variety of rifles, although they will be priced at least $300 above the Featherweight. Given the other offerings on the market at this time, the Model 70 is a solid buy. It's not the cheapest but it offers a good dose of quality for the money spent. In our next review will take a look at Winchester's top of the line Model 70 Super Grade. ...more
Review: Winchester Model 70 Featherweight
The Model 70 Featherweight has undergone many changes during the past 66 years, but its 22-inch barrel still has the familiar contour of the original version. Those first .270, .30-06, .243, and .308 chamberings have been joined by the .22-250, .25-06, 7mm-08, and .280 Remington. Regardless of whether a Featherweight was built in 1952 or 2018, most believe it is one of the finest standard-production, big-game rifles of all time. ...more
