The Winchester XPR Compact rifle in 6.8 Western with a 22-inch barrel (brand part no. 535720299) shrinks the proven XPR platform down to a compact-size black polymer stock, well suited to smaller-framed or younger hunters. Winchester pairs the compact stock with a Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad to tame the recoil of the powerful 6.8 Western cartridge, and a matte blue metal finish keeps the rifle tough and non-reflective in the field. The M.O.A. trigger system, bolt unlock button, and nickel Teflon-coated bolt carry over from the full-size XPR, and a detachable box magazine rounds out the package. Among compact bolt action rifles, this XPR Compact configuration favors hunters who want big-cartridge performance in a shorter, easier-handling build.
