Winchester XPR Hunter 6.8 Western 24" Barrel Flat Dark Earth

The Winchester XPR Hunter in 6.8 Western delivers exceptional long-range performance with its precision-engineered action and advanced cartridge design. This bolt-action rifle combines proven Winchester reliability with modern materials and manufacturing techniques to create a hunting rifle capable of taking game at extended distances.

What Makes This Different

The 6.8 Western cartridge provides superior ballistics compared to traditional hunting rounds, delivering 25% more energy than .270 Winchester at 400 yards. Winchester's XPR action features a free-floating barrel design that eliminates contact pressure points, resulting in consistent accuracy shot after shot. The Perma-Cote finish offers superior corrosion resistance compared to standard bluing, maintaining appearance and function in harsh hunting conditions.

Key Features

• 6.8 Western chambering for flat trajectory and high energy retention at long range
• 24-inch sporter barrel with Flat Dark Earth Perma-Cote finish for enhanced durability
• TrueTimber Strata synthetic stock provides lightweight handling and weather resistance
• Drilled and tapped steel receiver accepts standard scope mounts
• 3+1 capacity with detachable box magazine
• MOA trigger system adjustable from 3.5 to 5 pounds
• Button-rifled barrel with target crown for enhanced accuracy potential

Field performance centers on the 6.8 Western's ability to maintain velocity and energy at hunting distances where other cartridges begin to lose effectiveness. The synthetic stock material resists warping in temperature extremes while the steel receiver provides a solid mounting platform for optics. Hunters pursuing elk, mule deer, and other large game benefit from the cartridge's exceptional terminal performance at ranges exceeding 300 yards.
