For hunters and precision shooters who demand a rugged, reliable bolt-action platform that performs in the field, attention to build quality and ergonomics matters. This review breaks down the features you’ll use every season and explains why the rifle balances weight, durability, and accuracy for practical hunting and range work.

WINCHESTER XPR is a bolt-action hunting rifle built to withstand the elements while delivering repeatable accuracy. The 22″ free-float barrel is chromoly steel with a non-reflective matte blued finish, button rifled with a 1:16″ twist and a recessed target crown to protect muzzle rifling. The chromoly steel receiver is drilled and tapped for 8-40 screws, and the lightweight synthetic stock gives a secure grip in wet conditions while resisting bumps and scratches. The XPR includes a detachable 3-round box magazine, a 2-position safety, bolt release button, cocking indicator, and a wide trigger guard and magazine frame designed for gloved use. The rifle weighs 6.75 lbs., measures 42″ overall with a 13.75″ length of pull, and is priced at $543.99. Shop this product

Barrel and Accuracy Features

The 22″ free-float barrel keeps external pressures off the tube for more predictable harmonics. Chromoly steel construction with a matte blued finish resists glare and harsh conditions on long days in the field. Button rifling and a 1:16″ twist promote consistent stabilization for many common hunting cartridges; the recessed target crown preserves the rifling at the muzzle to protect accuracy after years of use.

Receiver, Controls, and Magazine

Mounting and Durability

The chromoly receiver is drilled and tapped for 8-40 screws, providing straightforward optics mounting options and a stable platform for scopes and rings.

Field-Friendly Controls

A 2-position safety, bolt release, and cocking indicator give clear, tactile control in the field. The detachable 3-round magazine is low-profile yet reliable, and the wide trigger guard and magazine frame accommodate gloves without compromise.

Why the XPR Stands Out

As a Winchester offering, the XPR pairs trusted legacy manufacturing with practical, user-focused features. At a listed price of $543.99, it presents a competitive balance of rugged components, a lightweight synthetic stock, and shooter-friendly ergonomics that suit hunters and shooters who need dependable performance without excess weight.
