The Winchester XPR SR in 6.8 Western delivers precision shooting performance with left-handed ergonomics and suppressor-ready capabilities. This bolt-action rifle combines Winchester's proven XPR action with the ballistically superior 6.8 Western cartridge for extended range accuracy.
What Makes This Different
The XPR SR features a factory-threaded barrel and enhanced trigger system that sets it apart from standard hunting rifles. The 6.8 Western cartridge provides 300-400 fps higher velocity than comparable .270 Winchester loads while maintaining manageable recoil. Winchester's Perma-Cote finish offers superior corrosion resistance compared to traditional bluing, extending barrel life in harsh conditions.
