The pre-64 controlled-round-feed action with full-length claw extractor is a defining feature of this rifle, offering reliable feeding from the internal box magazine. The three-position wing safety is mounted on the bolt shroud, and the rifle retains the Winchester factory proofs at the barrel and receiver junction.
The 22-inch featherweight-contour steel barrel keeps overall weight down while maintaining balance. It is paired with a ramped front sight base; the hood is not present. No rear sight is installed.
The walnut stock features cut checkering, a checkered pistol grip, and sling swivel studs, capped by a Winchester-logo hard buttplate. Length of pull measures 13.5 inches, providing a straightforward, traditional fit.
A Bausch & Lomb Elite 3000 scope is installed in scope rings and bases, complementing the rifle’s intended field use. The blued steel receiver and barrel, along with the light-alloy hinged floorplate and trigger guard, complete the classic Featherweight configuration with a stated 5+1 capacity.
