Built in 1961, this pre-64 Model 70 Featherweight pairs a blued steel receiver and barrel with a walnut stock featuring a straight comb and cut checkering. The adjustable trigger and three-position safety deliver the familiar Model 70 operation collectors and shooters expect.
The controlled-round-feed action uses a non-rotating claw extractor and fixed blade ejector for positive feeding and ejection. It feeds from an internal box magazine with a hinged floorplate, providing a 5+1 capacity in .30-06.
The 22 in featherweight-contour steel barrel includes factory-style barrel sights. The receiver is drilled and tapped and currently fitted with filler screws.
The walnut stock includes sling swivel studs front and rear. A rubber recoil pad has been installed, yielding a 13.5 in length of pull while maintaining a clean, classic profile.
