Winchester 70 Featherweight .264 Win Mag Stain

The Winchester 70 Featherweight in .264 Win Mag is a classic bolt-action rifle built for hunters who demand both precision and portability. At 7 lbs 4 oz, this rifle won't wear you down during a day in the field, yet it delivers the accuracy serious long-range hunters expect. The .264 Win Mag is a proven magnum capable of taking game at distance, and Winchester has chambered it in a platform trusted by generations of American hunters. If you're looking for a lightweight rifle that doesn't compromise on performance or handling, the Featherweight delivers.

The action starts with Winchester's legendary Pre-'64 style controlled round feed system—a design that fully commands the cartridge from magazine to chamber to ejection, giving you confidence in every shot. The forged steel receiver features an integral recoil lug and is bedded front and rear to maintain zero and consistency. The cold hammer-forged barrel is free-floating and cut to a featherweight profile for balance and accuracy, while the recessed target crown protects the rifling and aids precision. A 24-inch barrel keeps the overall length to 44.75 inches, making this rifle quick and nimble in thick cover or from a bench.

The trigger is Winchester's M.O.A. system—zero take-up, zero creep, zero overtravel—a significant advantage in field hunting where a clean, predictable break matters. Three-position safety lets you see your safety status at a glance, and the three-position bolt is topped with a jeweled body and knurled handle for a classic feel. Satin black walnut stock with traditional cut checkering and Schnabel forearm evokes the original Featherweight aesthetic without being precious about it. The Pachmayr Decelerator pad absorbs recoil effectively, and an alloy one-piece bottom metal adds rigidity. Magazine capacity is 5 rounds.

This is a rifle for hunters who value what the Featherweight has always stood for: quick handling, reliable mechanics, and genuine accuracy—without the weight penalty or modern tactical styling.
