Description
The Winchester Model 70 Featherweight Compact in .308 Win is a trimmed-down version of the classic controlled-round-feed bolt gun, built for hunters who need a lighter, handier rifle without giving up accuracy or reliability. This 20-inch barrel model sheds weight and length for tight cover and long walks in the field. We’ve carried this since fall 2025 and it’s become a regular reorder item—consistently popular with our customers who appreciate a real hunting tool that carries easy and shoots straight. On our scale, the rifle weighs 6.7 oz less than a standard Featherweight, making a noticeable difference on a long day.
Key Highlights
- Classic Controlled-Round Feed: The Model 70’s three-position safety and claw extractor give you positive control from magazine to chamber, proven in the field for over 80 years.
- Compact 20-Inch Barrel: Shorter barrel reduces weight and overall length for easier handling in brush, tree stands, and tight quarters—without sacrificing .308 Win terminal performance.
- Featherweight Stock: Satin-finished walnut stock with cut checkering and a classic Schnabel fore-end keeps weight down and looks right.
- Pre-Game Adjustable Trigger: The MOA trigger system is factory-set crisp and can be adjusted without tools for your preferred pull weight.
- Real-World Carry Weight: At 6.7 oz lighter than the standard Featherweight per our scale, this compact version carries like a dream on all-day hunts.

What Buyers Ask
Does this rifle come with scope mounts or rings?
No, the receiver is drilled and tapped for scope bases but rings and bases are sold separately. We stock a range of options for the Model 70—just ask.
Is the stock length of pull shorter than a standard Featherweight?
Yes, the Featherweight Compact has a 12.5-inch length of pull, which is about an inch shorter than the standard model. This helps with quick mounting and shooting in heavy clothes or for smaller-framed shooters.
Can I use standard .308 ammo, or is it picky?
We’ve run several brands through this rifle—Federal, Winchester, Hornady—and it fed and ejected without issue. The controlled-round-feed action handles a wide range of bullet profiles and case lengths reliably.
