Winchester XPR Hunter Bolt Action Rifle 270 WSM 24" Barrel (1)-3Rd Magazine Mossy Oak DNA Camouflage Stock Black Perma-Cote 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.

Caliber Dictionary
The Below Information Has Been Provided From Our Gun Caliber Dictionary And Is Meant For Informational Purposes Only. It Is Not Intended to Describe The Unique Specifications For This Ammunition.
The 270 Winchester was introduced in 1925 in the Winchester Model 54 bolt-action, forerunner to the Model 70. Based on the 30-06 case necked down, it was the first production cartridge to use a .277-inch bullet. Why this bullet diameter was chosen is not clear. The intent, however, was to create a cartridge that shot flatter than the 30-06 and produced less recoil. This effort was so successful that the 270 Winchester remains the world's most popular 270 cartridge...and since 1925 only three other commercial cartridges have used this bullet diameter. With a 130-grain bullet at 3060 feet per second and a 150-grain bullet at 2950 the 270 is powerful and flat shooting. It is adequate for game up to elk, ideal for virtually all American deer hunting, and, as it's long-time champion, gunwriter Jack O'Connor, so often wrote, it is a marvelous choice for mountain hunting. It is a standard chambering for almost all rifle makers, and choices in factory loads run into the many dozens. — Craig Boddington
