Winchester XPR Hunter Full Size Bolt Action Rifle 6.5 Creedmoor 22" Button-Rifled Free-Floating Barrel 3Rd Capacity Drilled & Tapped Synthetic Mossy Oak DNA Camoflage Stock Black Finish
The Winchester XPR is an innovative rifle that meets the performance expectations of today's demanding hunters. It's a rugged, no nonsense game-getter that will put meat in your freezer for many years to come. Most of all, the feature-packed XPR bolt-action rifle embodies the lasting quality you've come to expect from Winchester Repeating Arms. Winchester's M.O.A. Trigger System is the heart of every XPR rifle. The trigger housing and all internal components in the M.O.A trigger are constructed of polished and hardened carbon steel with a blued finish for added durability and corrosion resistance. It also has a two-position safety that's convenient to operate with the thumb of your firing hand. Located just in front of the safety button, the bolt release button allows the action to cycle unfired cartridges while the safety is on. The cocking indicator on the bolt shroud gives you both a tactile and visual reference of the rifle's cocked/uncocked condition. The robust XPR bolt is crafted from chromoly steel barstock and is through-hardened during heat-treatment. The bolt design offers three front locking lugs and a short 60-degree lift for improved scope clearance when cycling. A tough nickel Teflon coating provides smooth operation and added corrosion resistance. The one-piece trigger guard and magazine frame design offers a generous guard opening for use with gloves. The chromoly steel barrel on the XPR rifle is precisely button-rifled to create outstanding accuracy with a wide variety of bullet weights and types. The entire barrel is free-floating to eliminate any accuracy robbing pressure points. The XPR also features a drilled & tapped chromoly steel receiver, synthetic stock with an Inflex Technology recoil pad, and a detachable single stack box magazine.

The 6.5 Creedmoor was introduced by Hornady in 2008. Uniquely, it was designed for accuracy with long-range competition in mind. Using a 308 Winchester (30 TC, 300 Savage) case shortened to 1.920 inches, it will feed through the shortest existing bolt actions, but remains supersonic to well beyond 1000 yards. Standard velocity is a 140-grain .264-inch bullet at 2820 fps, also making it an effective but mild-recoiling medium-range hunting cartridge. The 6.5 Creedmoor was introduced with little fanfare, but after it started winning matches shooters took notice. This is an unusual phenomenon for a cartridge to suddenly "take off" years after its introduction, but that's the story of the 6.5 Creedmoor--after about 2016 it became one of the most-talked-about cartridges, with both rifle and ammunition offerings expanding rapidly. — Craig Boddington
