Overview
The Winchester XPR Thumbhole Varmint SR is engineered for consistent accuracy and robust performance in demanding field conditions. This bolt-action rifle integrates purpose-built components, from its M.O.A. Trigger System to its precision-machined barrel and bolt, to deliver reliable functionality and optimized projectile placement. It serves as a durable platform for experienced firearm enthusiasts and competitive shooters requiring technical precision and utility.
Key Features
M.O.A. Trigger System
The M.O.A. Trigger System is central to the XPR’s precision. All internal components, including the housing, are constructed from polished and hardened carbon steel with a blued finish, optimizing durability and corrosion resistance. This design ensures a consistent, crisp trigger pull, facilitating precise shot execution.
Precision Barrel Construction
The chromoly steel barrel is precisely button-rifled, promoting consistent projectile stabilization across a diverse range of ammunition. The barrel is entirely free-floating, mitigating any accuracy-degrading pressure points from the stock. Its threaded muzzle allows for direct integration of suppressors or muzzle devices, enhancing versatility and recoil management.
Robust Bolt Engineering
Crafted from chromoly steel barstock and through-hardened for maximum strength, the XPR bolt features three front locking lugs, providing a secure lock-up. A short 60-degree bolt lift facilitates rapid cycling and ensures ample clearance for mounted optics. The bolt is further treated with a Nickel Teflon coating, optimizing smooth operation and providing an additional layer of corrosion resistance. A visible and tactile cocking indicator on the bolt shroud provides immediate status feedback.
Ergonomic Thumbhole Stock
This model integrates a robust wood laminate thumbhole stock, designed to enhance shooter interface and control. It incorporates a raised cheek piece for consistent head alignment with optics and features an Inflex Technology recoil pad to effectively mitigate felt recoil, optimizing comfort during extended shooting sessions.
Optimized Safety & Functionality
The XPR incorporates a two-position safety mechanism, conveniently positioned for thumb operation. Adjacent to the safety, a dedicated bolt release button enables the user to cycle unfired cartridges while the safety remains engaged, enhancing operational safety. The one-piece trigger guard and magazine frame design provides a generous opening, accommodating use with gloves. A detachable single-stack box magazine facilitates rapid reloads.
