Winchester Model 70 Featherweight AA French 308 Win 22" 5rd Rifle

The Winchester Model 70 Featherweight AA French is a lightweight bolt action hunting rifle with classic looks, chambered in 308 Win. It carries a 22" free floating barrel in the Featherweight profile with a target crown, and it holds 5 rounds in the magazine. The receiver and barrel are steel with a gloss blued finish, and the receiver comes drilled and tapped for scope mounts.

Wood is the headline here. The AA grade stock has a satin finish, classic Featherweight cut checkering and a Schnabel fore end with its slim upturned tip. A Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad softens the push on the shoulder. Underneath the good looks is the action Model 70 fans buy it for: controlled round feed with a claw extractor and controlled ejection, so the cartridge is held from the moment it leaves the magazine until the empty case is thrown clear. In 308 Win it makes a handy rifle for deer and similar game.
