wapiti22Pre-64 Winchester
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?

The hollow bolt knob was not exclusive to the featherweight. Some of the later original standards also had hollow bolt knobs.
