You can Win this Winchester Model 70 Classic Featherweight

Guns Magazine, March, 2002

The Winchester Model 70 Featherweight is certainly one of the most desirable hunting rifles in America. Hunters told Winchester what they most wanted to see in a resurrection of this classic -- and Winchester has more than obliged. The rifle is a delight to handle at a mere 7 1/2 pounds and boasts a stylish walnut stock featuring a Schnabel forend and crisp cut checkering with an enclosed ribbon pattern. The Classic action incorporates controlled round feeding with the Mauser-style claw extractor that serious riflemen demand. Add to that an anti-binding feature that makes bolt operations smoother than ever and lustrous metal finish, and now you know why the Winchester Model 70 Classic Featherweight is so popular.

The cartridge that this rifle is chambered for is no less special. The .300 WSM has turned the shooting world on its car. It equals the performance of the original .300 WSM with 180-grain loads is an impressive 2,970 fps!
