Special Features

• Pre-64 style controlled round feeding uses a claw extractor that grabs the cartridge from the moment it leaves the magazine, giving the Model 70 Featherweight (535200228) positive case control through the entire feed cycle.
• The M.O.A. Trigger System delivers a pull with zero take-up, zero creep, and zero overtravel, giving shooters a clean, predictable break that aids accuracy in field conditions.
• Cold hammer-forged barrel construction produces consistent bore dimensions and a hard interior surface that resists wear and maintains accuracy across extended use.
• The integral recoil lug is bedded front and rear within the forged steel receiver, locking the action solidly in place to eliminate zero shift even after repeated field carry and hunting use.
• Jeweled bolt body with a knurled bolt handle adds a refined appearance and provides a positive grip surface for fast, reliable cycling between shots.
• The Schnabel fore-end and angled comb walnut stock follow the original Featherweight pattern, keeping the rifle slim and balanced for one-hand carry over long distances in the field.
• Three-position safety allows the shooter to lock the bolt closed for safe carry, open the bolt for unloading with the safety engaged, or move fully to fire when ready.
