The legendary handling and quickness of the Model 70 Featherweight is justly famous among hunters everywhere. The Model 70 action offers Pre-'64 style controlled round feeding, a three-position safety and is highlighted by a jeweled bolt body with knurled bolt handle. Inside is the M.O.A Trigger System, the finest trigger ever offered in a bolt-action with zero take up, zero creep and zero overtravel. Like the original Featherweight, the angled comb Grade I walnut stock still features the Schnabel forend and satin finish with elegant cut checkering. A premium Pachmayr Decelerator pad helps soak up the felt recoil. It is available in the most popular long and short action calibers, including WSM chamberings.

The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this particular item.

The 264 Winchester Magnum was introduced in 1958 in a 26-inch-barreled version of the beloved Winchester Model 70 called the "Westerner." It was a companion introduction to the 338 Winchester Magnum in the Model 70 "Alaskan." Initial reception to the 264 was spectacular, but its star began to fade as shooters realized original factory loads weren't quite as fast as claimed, and throat erosion (in 1958 barrel steel) was rapid. Remington's 1962 introduction of the more powerful 7mm Remington Magnum put another nail in the 264's coffin and it has essentially lingered ever since. This is probably unfair. With a 140-grain 6.5mm bullet at 3030 feet per second it is flat-shooting and effective, with relatively little recoil. It is as designed: A fine cartridge for western hunting! Although a serious comeback is unlikely, the current upsurge of interest in virtually all 6.5mm cartridges is benefitting the 264, with more new rifles and loads available than in many years. — Craig Boddington
