The Winchester Model 70 Featherweight in .243 Winchester pairs classic lines and controlled-round-feed reliability in a light, carry-friendly package. It features the M.O.A. Trigger System, a free-floating cold hammer-forged barrel, and a Grade I satin walnut stock with Featherweight checkering and Schnabel fore-end. For an optic under $1,000 that complements this rifle’s intended use, a Vortex Crossfire II 3-9×40 provides a durable, clear sight picture and versatile magnification for field work.
