what are the differences between a featherweight and standard pre-64 Winchester Model 70. I know the barels and trigger guards are different. Anything else? US Navy RETIRED NRA LIFE MEMBER | ||

The stocks would be different, at least the inletting, and the sights (I think). | |||

The barrels are thinner and lighter. velocity is like a new car, always losing value. BC is like diamonds, holding value forever. | |||

Looks like the only thing in common is the action itself. Thanks for the great photos. US Navy RETIRED NRA LIFE MEMBER | |||

The hollow bolt knob was not exclusive to the featherweight. Some of the later original standards also had hollow bolt knobs. Jim Kobe 10841 Oxborough Ave So Bloomington MN 55437 952.884.6031 Professional member American Custom Gunmakers Guild | |||
