Winchester Model 70 Featherweight | 6.5 Creedmoor | 22″

The Winchester Model 70 Featherweight is a bolt-action sporting rifle chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor with a 22″ free-floating, hammer-forged barrel and a satin Grade I walnut stock. It uses the Model 70 controlled-round-feed action with a claw extractor, a three-position safety, and Winchester’s M.O.A. Trigger System. For a matched optic under $1,000, the Vortex Viper PST Gen II 3-15×44 is a suitable choice that covers field-to-long-range work while staying within the price guideline.
