Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Pre-'64 Controlled Round Feeding important on the Model 70?
Controlled Round Feeding (CRF) means the cartridge is fully controlled by the extractor from the moment it leaves the magazine until it is ejected. This provides positive, reliable feeding even at awkward angles — critical when hunting in the field under physical or environmental stress. It also allows single rounds to be loaded and fed with the same reliability as a full magazine, a feature widely regarded as one of the Model 70's greatest engineering strengths.
Is the M.O.A. Trigger System truly adjustable, and what can it be set to?
Yes — Winchester's M.O.A. Trigger System is factory-set for a crisp, zero-creep pull and can be adjusted by a qualified gunsmith to suit your preferred pull weight. The design eliminates trigger slack and over-travel, resulting in predictable, consistent breaks that contribute directly to improved accuracy. Many shooters find it competitive with aftermarket triggers straight from the box.
Is the Winchester Model 70 Featherweight a good choice for deer and elk hunting?
Absolutely. The .308 Winchester cartridge is one of the most proven big-game rounds in North America, offering flat trajectories, manageable recoil, and exceptional terminal performance on deer, elk, and black bear at practical hunting distances. The Featherweight's trim 22-inch barrel and lightweight walnut stock make it easy to carry through long backcountry hunts, while the controlled feed action and M.O.A. trigger give you the precision needed for ethical, clean shots.
