The Winchester XPR Hunter in 243 Winchester delivers precision hunting performance with left-handed shooter ergonomics and weather-resistant construction. This bolt-action rifle combines Winchester's proven MOA trigger system with a durable Perma-Cote finish for reliable field performance.
What Makes This Different
The XPR Hunter features Winchester's MOA trigger system, factory-adjusted to break cleanly between 3.5-5 pounds with minimal overtravel. Unlike basic hunting rifles with heavy, creepy triggers, this system provides consistent pull weight and crisp break for improved accuracy. The button-rifled barrel maintains tighter tolerances than hammer-forged alternatives, contributing to sub-MOA potential with quality ammunition.
