Winchester Xpert | 17 WSM | 18 in | 8rd

The Winchester Xpert is a lightweight bolt-action rifle chambered in .17 WSM featuring an 18-inch precision button-rifled barrel and a molded gray synthetic stock. It ships with an 8-round rotary detachable magazine, a drilled-and-tapped steel receiver for optics, and a three-lever adjustable Rimfire M.O.A. Trigger for a crisp, repeatable pull. For a companion optic under $1,000, the Vortex Crossfire II 2-7×32 provides suitable magnification and durability for the Xpert’s intended uses.

Recommended applications include varmint/ predator hunting and precision rimfire-style target shooting where flat trajectory and light recoil are priorities.
