Winchester Guns 535200229 Model 70 Featherweight 264 Win Mag 3+1 Cap 24″ Brushed Polish Blued Rec/Barrel Satin Walnut Fixed with Feather Checkering Stock Right Hand with MOA Trigger System (Full Size)

Description

The Winchester Guns 535200229 Model 70 Featherweight 264 Win Mag 3+1 Cap 24″ Brushed Polish Blued Rec/Barrel Satin Walnut Fixed with Feather Checkering Stock Right Hand with MOA Trigger System (Full Size) is a precision rifle that doesn’t cut corners. Chambered in .264 Win Mag, this rig delivers flat trajectories and serious downrange energy for long-range steel or competition stages. The action is glass-bedded front and rear—two points of contact to keep zero shifts out of the equation. You get the legendary CRF bolt, a three-position safety you can thumb without breaking your grip, and a MOA trigger that breaks clean. This is a production rifle built to the same tolerances as a custom shop build.

Key Features

• Controlled Round Feed (CRF) Bolt – Why it matters: The bolt grabs the cartridge rim from the moment it leaves the magazine, giving you positive feed even when you’re cycling fast on a cold morning or running a bump feed in a match.
• MOA Trigger System – Why it matters: You get a crisp, user-adjustable trigger that breaks consistently at a measured 3.2 lbs out of the box, letting you dial in the exact pull weight for your shot cadence.
• Three-Position Safety – Why it matters: You can lock the bolt, load/unload with the safety on, or fire—all with your thumb on the grip. No fumbling when the clock is running.
• Two-Point Glass Bedding – Why it matters: The action is epoxy-bedded at the front recoil lug and rear tang, eliminating stock flex and keeping your point of impact repeatable shot after shot.
• Satin Walnut Stock with Feather Checkering – Why it matters: The stock is cut from real walnut with fine-point checkering that gives you a slip-free grip without being abrasive, and the satin finish won’t glare under competition lights.

Who It’s For

This rifle is for the competitor who demands sub-MOA accuracy from a production platform without paying custom prices. It’s for the precision enthusiast who understands that controlled round feed and proper bedding matter more than a fancy paint job. If you’re shooting PRS, NRA High Power, or long-range steel with .264 Win Mag, this rig gives you the ballistic advantage of a 6.5mm bullet at 3000+ fps without the recoil of a magnum.

Pros / Cons

• Pros: Genuine CRF action, MOA trigger, two-point glass bedding, classic walnut stock, brushed polish blued finish that resists rust in humid match conditions.
• Cons: The Featherweight stock is lighter than a heavy tactical chassis, so if you’re running a suppressor or heavy bipod, you may need to add a muzzle brake to manage recoil. Also, the .264 Win Mag ammo is less common than .308 or 6.5 Creedmoor—plan your reloading component stock accordingly.
