Several years ago I acquired a Model 70 Featherweight (circa 1960) in 243 Win. It appears to wear a walnut stock the same size as the regular Model 70s. It has a 21 1/2” barrel. The recent Model 70 I bought has a 22” barrel and is considerably lighter and fits better, mostly due to a shorter length of pull.I believe it. One of my wife's 7mm-08s is a M70 "featherweight," and I never could figure out why Winchester called it that. In order to sell more guns, I guess.
