Winchester 70 Featherweight .25-06 Rem Stain - 535200225

The Winchester 70 Featherweight in .25-06 Rem is a classic bolt-action hunting rifle built on a legacy of proven field performance. This rifle combines the quick handling and iconic looks that have made the Featherweight a favorite among hunters for generations, with modern accuracy features and refined craftsmanship. At 7 pounds with a 22-inch barrel, it's designed to carry all day in the field without fatigue while delivering the stopping power hunters expect from the .25-06 Remington cartridge.

The action is where Winchester's reputation shines. The forged steel receiver features pre-'64 style controlled round feed with a claw extractor—a design that fully manages each cartridge from magazine to chamber to ejection with reliability you can count on. The integral recoil lug is bedded front and rear to eliminate zero shift, crucial for maintaining accuracy shot after shot. A jeweled bolt body and knurled handle add both function and that classic Winchester look.

Accuracy comes from the cold hammer-forged, free-floating barrel with a 1:10 twist rate and recessed target crown that protects rifling while enhancing precision downrange. Inside the triggerguard sits Winchester's M.O.A. Trigger System—a clean, crisp trigger with zero take-up, zero creep, and zero overtravel. The Grade I satin walnut stock features traditional Schnabel forearm and hand-cut checkering, finished in that elegant matte that won't glare in the field. A three-position safety provides intuitive status feedback, and the Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad tames the .25-06's kick.

The polished metal surfaces and alloy one-piece bottom metal reinforce that premium feel without unnecessary weight. This is a rifle built to work—whether you're glassing a ridge for mule deer or set up on a varmint stand—with the handling quickness and accuracy pedigree the Featherweight is known for.

The Featherweight prioritizes light weight and quick handling—at 7 pounds, it's built for all-day field use and hunting situations where you carry the rifle more than you shoot it.
