The Winchester Xpert rifle in .17 WSM (Winchester part no. 525200186) is a bolt-action rimfire magnum with an 18-inch barrel and an 8-round rotary magazine. Winchester builds it around a three-lever Rimfire M.O.A. Trigger and a button-rifled barrel with a target crown and Bentz-style chamber. A two-piece scope base is included, and the steel receiver is also drilled and tapped for optic mounts, so mounting a scope is straightforward. It is aimed at varmint hunters who want flat-shooting rimfire magnum performance in a light rifle.
