Winchester XPR Extended Range 6.8 Western Bolt-Action Rifle

The Winchester XPR Extended Range in 6.8 Western delivers precision long-range performance with advanced tungsten coating and muzzle brake technology. This bolt-action rifle combines Winchester's proven XPR platform with the ballistic advantages of the 6.8 Western cartridge for extended range hunting and precision shooting applications.

What Makes This Different

The XPR Extended Range features a QPQ (Quench Polish Quench) nitride finish that provides superior corrosion resistance and reduced friction compared to traditional bluing or parkerizing. The tungsten coating on critical components enhances wear resistance and extends barrel life. The integrated muzzle brake reduces felt recoil by approximately 30% while maintaining accuracy, making this rifle more comfortable for extended shooting sessions than standard hunting rifles.

Key Features

• 6.8 Western chambering for flat trajectory and retained energy at extended ranges
• QPQ nitride finish provides enhanced corrosion resistance and durability
• Tungsten-coated components for extended barrel life and reduced wear
• Integrated muzzle brake reduces recoil and muzzle rise
• MOA trigger system adjustable from 3.5 to 5 pounds
• Free-floating barrel for consistent accuracy potential
• Detachable box magazine for quick reloading

The 6.8 Western cartridge excels in hunting scenarios requiring shots beyond 400 yards, delivering approximately 200 fps higher velocity than comparable .270 Winchester loads. The rifle's accuracy potential typically groups under 1 MOA with quality ammunition, making it suitable for precision hunting applications. The QPQ finish withstands harsh weather conditions without degradation, while the muzzle brake allows for faster follow-up shots in hunting situations.
