The Winchester Model 70 Featherweight Bolt-Action Rifle is an outstanding choice for avid hunters who are looking for a quick-handling rifle that delivers exceptional accuracy with modern, long-range cartridges. The satin-finished, walnut stock features cut checkering, a Schnabel fore-end, and a Pachmayr recoil pad. The excellent trigger, combined with a hammer-forged, free-floated barrel, and forged steel receiver with a bedded integral recoil lug provide exceptional accuracy. Winchester produced both centerfire and rimfire rifles that were moderately successful.

The Winchester Model 70 is considered one of the best bolt-action hunting rifles on the market. Winchester's M.O.A.™ Trigger System has zero trigger "creep", and no "overtravel" after the firing pin has been released. The Model 1954 was a popular bolt-action rifle that later concluded with the Winchester Model 70. The bolt is locked down with the safety fully to the rear, where it is extremely unlikely to accidentally get knocked to the fire position when carrying the rifle in rugged terrain. A 3-position safety allows the shooter to load or unload the Model 70 Featherweight with the safety engaged in the mid position. The large claw, Mauser-type extractor also provides maximum surface contact on the cartridge's rim for sure extraction of the spent casing and a solid blade-type ejector reliably clears empty cases from the action. The Featherweight uses the same controlled-round, claw-extractor as the "pre-'64" style, which grabs hold of the cartridge's rim shortly after it leaves the magazine and guides it to the chamber, regardless of the angle the rifle is being held, and prevents jams caused by double feeding.
