Item Description
Bryant Ridge Co. is pleased to present this classic bolt-action rifle for a penny-start auction; this is the Winchester Model 70 XTR Featherweight!
The Winchester Model 70 XTR Featherweight, manufactured from 1981 to 1994, is a highly regarded rifle that appeals to both hunters and collectors alike. Among the various calibers offered, the .257 Roberts and 7x57mm Mauser stand out, especially since they were discontinued in 1985, adding a layer of rarity to those particular models. The limited availability of these calibers, combined with the rifle’s reputation for lightweight, accurate performance, has made the Model 70 XTR Featherweight a prized piece for collectors, with specific attention given to the more uncommon configurations.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Winchester Model 70 Featherweight Bolt-Action Rifle stands out for its slim, trim design and lightweight construction, which significantly enhance its fast handling capabilities and ease of carry. This model appeals to hunters and shooters who prioritize mobility without sacrificing performance. Its design makes it suitable for various hunting scenarios, allowing for quick target acquisition and reliable shooting in the field. One of the key features of the Featherweight is its controlled round, claw-extractor mechanism, reminiscent of the "pre-'64" style. This system effectively grips the cartridge's rim immediately after it is released from the magazine, guiding it into the chamber smoothly, regardless of the rifle's angle. This innovation not only prevents jams caused by double feeding but also ensures that the large claw, Mauser-type extractor maintains maximum contact with the cartridge rim for reliable extraction of spent casings. The rifle is also equipped with a solid blade-type ejector that efficiently clears empty cases from the action, enhancing overall operational reliability. The Featherweight incorporates Winchester's advanced M.O.A. Trigger System, which notably eliminates trigger "creep" and overtravel, providing a crisp and responsive trigger pull. Coupled with a hammer-forged, free-floated barrel and a forged steel receiver with a bedded integral recoil lug, this rifle is engineered for exceptional accuracy. Its satin-finished walnut stock features cut checkering and a Schnabel-style fore-end, offering both aesthetic appeal and functional grip. Additionally, the Pachmayr recoil pad ensures comfort during shooting sessions. The inclusion of a 3-position safety further enhances the rifle's usability, allowing for safe loading and unloading while maintaining firearm security in various terrain. Overall, the Winchester Model 70 Featherweight is an excellent choice for avid hunters seeking a reliable, accurate, and quick-handling rifle paired with modern cartridges for long-range performance.
