Some years ago Winchester made a Compact Model 70 that wasn't so thick around the magazine because it designed with a mag box that wasn't so deep, it held one less round, the stock was shallower top to bottom, and even the trigger was shaped different and wasn't so long so it didn't hit the trigger guard on the shallower stock. Wow, that was hard to follow. Anyway I have 2 of them, a 7/08 and a 243. They sure feel good to carry. My hand reaches all the way around at the magazine. Neither one is super accurate both both are hunting accurate for reasonable ranges. When the new compact was listed I phoned Winchester to ask if the new ones had the same magazine capacity as the standard Fwt. I was told yes, no change, just a shorter barrel. So I passed on getting a new one. Too bad.
