Winchester M70 Featherweight | .22-250 Rem | 22″ | 535200210

The Winchester Model 70 Featherweight is a classic bolt-action sporting rifle chambered in .22-250 Remington with a 22-inch barrel and a satin walnut stock. This Featherweight variant retains the Model 70’s pre-’64 style controlled-round feed and a three-position safety while adding a lighter, quick-handling profile suited to carrying in the field. The rifle is drilled and tapped for optics and pairs well with a mid‑power variable scope such as a Vortex Viper PST 2.5-10×44, which typically sells for under $1,000 and balances weight, magnification and glass quality for varmint and precision work.
