Description
The Winchester Model 70 Featherweight .243 Win is a bolt-action sporting rifle from Winchester’s legendary Model 70 family, known widely as “The Rifleman’s Rifle.” The Featherweight variant features a lighter, slimmer barrel contour and traditional styling aimed at hunters and shooters who want a reliable, accurate, and easily carried rifle for medium game and varmint hunting.
This model combines classic Winchester craftsmanship — including a controlled-round-feed action, three-position safety, and high-quality walnut stock — with a popular sporting cartridge (.243 Winchester) that excels in flat trajectory and light recoil characteristics.
