Winchester XPR Compact 6.8 Western Bolt Action Rifle 22" Barrel

The Winchester XPR Compact delivers precision hunting performance in the powerful 6.8 Western caliber, engineered for hunters who demand accuracy in a more manageable platform. This bolt-action rifle combines Winchester's proven XPR action with a compact design that reduces overall length without sacrificing ballistic performance.

What Makes This Different

The XPR Compact features a 13-inch length of pull compared to the standard 13.75-inch, making it ideal for smaller-framed shooters or those wearing heavy clothing. The 6.8 Western caliber provides superior long-range performance over traditional cartridges, delivering 300 Winchester Magnum energy levels with significantly less recoil. Winchester's M.O.A. Trigger System provides a crisp, consistent pull weight that enhances accuracy potential.

Key Features

• 6.8 Western caliber for extended range and energy retention
• 22-inch button-rifled barrel with target crown for enhanced accuracy
• Gray Perma-Cote metal finish resists corrosion and wear
• Matte black synthetic stock with textured grip surfaces
• 3+1 capacity with detachable box magazine
• M.O.A. Trigger System factory-set at 3.5 pounds

Field performance centers on the rifle's ability to maintain sub-MOA accuracy with quality ammunition while handling the 6.8 Western's impressive ballistics. The compact dimensions excel in tight hunting situations like tree stands or ground blinds where maneuverability matters. Weather resistance comes from the Perma-Cote finish and synthetic stock materials that won't warp or swell in adverse conditions.
