Winchester Model 70 Featherweight | 25-06 Rem | 22 in

The Winchester Model 70 Featherweight in 25-06 Rem is a traditional bolt-action sporting rifle built around the classic Model 70 action. This Featherweight version pairs a satin Grade I walnut stock and classic feather-cut checkering with polished blued metal surfaces and a cold hammer-forged, free-floating barrel. For optics, consider a Vortex Crossfire II 3-9×40 (a reliable scope available for well under $1000) as a durable, capable match for medium-range field work.

This rifle is suited to precision varminting and mountain hunting where quick handling and accurate, long-range performance matter; its Controlled Round Feed and M.O.A. Trigger System prioritize consistent feeding and a crisp break. The rifle is drilled and tapped for scope mounts and ships with a hinged floorplate magazine and Pachmayr Decelerator pad for reduced felt recoil.
