The Winchester Model 70 Featherweight Compact is a shortened, lightweight iteration of the classic Model 70 bolt-action platform offered in .308 Winchester. It pairs a 20″ free‑floating barrel with a satin walnut fixed stock finished in satin and polished metal surfaces for a traditional field-oriented package.
