The Winchester XPR rifle in 6.8 Western with a 24-inch barrel and black matte synthetic stock (brand part no. 535700299) gives long-range hunters a modern, flat-shooting cartridge in a free-floated chromoly steel barrel. Winchester machines a recessed target-style crown to protect the muzzle rifling, and a 1-in-8 twist rate is matched to 6.8 Western’s typically heavier bullet weights. A 3-round detachable box magazine keeps the rifle field-ready, and a wide trigger guard and magazine frame design accommodate use with gloves. The rifle is drilled and tapped for scope mounting. Among bolt action rifles, this XPR configuration favors long-range hunters chasing elk and other large North American game.
