Winchester Guns 535201299 Model 70 Featherweight Compact 6.8 Western 31 20 Satin Walnut Fixed wFeather Checkering Stock Brushed

The Model 70 since 1936 its been the benchmark against which every other boltaction rifle is measured. It still has the famous 3position safety which is convenient to operate with the thumb of your firing hand lifting the firing pin away from the sear. The forged steel receiver starts from a solid block of steel. The bottom profile of this receiver is flat to offer greater surface area for bedding. It is bedded with a twopart epoxy in two places at the front and rear to keep things from shifting around inside the stock during firing. The classic Controlled Round Feed CRF bolt design is a massive claw extractor that smoothly slips onto and secures about onequarter of the base of the cartridge. This exerts full control over the cartridge from the time it leaves the magazine as it enters the chamber gripping tightly until the cartridge is fully ejected. This design also allows an unfired cartridge to be extracted even if it is not yet fully chambered. The M.O.A. Trigger System is the most precise threelever trigger system in the world and an improved fit and finish and enhanced accuracy to go along with its classic Pre64 controlled round feeding. A bladetype ejector gives you full control when ejecting a fired case. Its freefloating barrel is button rifled in a process that assures superior accuracy and durability. This Featherweight Compact model features a shorter stock and barrel.
