Winchester Model 70 Featherweight Compact - 6.5 PRC - 22":

The Featherweight Compact carries on the Model 70 Featherweight heritage. This deluxe, refined model is an excellent choice for smaller-framed shooters, ladies, young people or hunters who prefer a compact, light mountain rifle. Its comfortable, smaller platform instills confidence in shooters because it fits them better than a full-sized rifle. The Compact Model 70 action has Pre-'64 controlled round feeding, the easy-to-use Three-Position Safety and a jeweled bolt body with knurled bolt handle. The M.O.A. Trigger System is easily adjustable and has no take-up, creep or overtravel. The Featherweight Compact, with its 20" barrel and fast, flat-shooting calibers, starts young shooters off right with a rifle possessing all the deluxe features of the Featherweight. It's a rifle to train with, hunt with, have fun with and pass down to the next generation.
