The Winchester XPR Thumbhole Varmint SR in 6.8 Western (Winchester part no. 535727299) is a short-action bolt rifle with a 24-inch heavy sporter barrel threaded 5/8×24 for a suppressor or muzzle brake. A gray laminate thumbhole stock with a raised cheekpiece gives a consistent sight picture from a rest or a stalk, and the matte-blued steel receiver and barrel are drilled and tapped for a scope mount. The SR in the name stands for suppressor ready, and a free-floated barrel with a recessed target crown supports accuracy from a bench or a rest. It is a steady rifle for varmint work and range sessions.
