SHOT Show Special 2025 – Bolt-action rifle with barrel threaded for an optional suppressor. Features matte blue metal finish, black polymer stock with Inflex Technology recoil pad, M.O.A. Trigger System, nickel Teflon™ coating on bolt, and detachable box magazine.

This rifle has all the proven accuracy that is built into the DNA of the Winchester XPR plus the addition of a threaded barrel that makes it easy to add a suppressor. What makes this rifle unique is the shorter barrel that offsets some of the lengths that comes from adding a suppressor. Conversely, the threading also allows the mounting of a muzzle brake when recoil is your concern.

The heart of accuracy in any rifle is found in the barrel – the better the barrel, the better the accuracy. XPR barrels begin as a piece of solid chromoly steel bar stock. It's carefully drilled and then precisely button-rifled to produce outstanding accuracy. The button-rifling process also serves to burnish the interior surface of the barrel so each of the lands and grooves has a smoother finish. In turn, this burnishing serves to increase velocity while decreasing bullet jacket fouling. Every XPR barrel is also thermally stress-relieved to ensure straight and true accuracy. The barrel is fully free-floating to eliminate accuracy robbing pressure points where it might come in contact with the stock. This is especially important when the rifle might be subjected to variations in temperature or humidity. By floating the barrel, it is allowed to freely vibrate at its own frequency during the passage of each bullet.

The tack-driving performance of the XPR is further enhanced with the M.O.A. Trigger System. This precision, three-lever trigger is the same design as that found on our top-end Model 70. This trigger offers zero tack-up, zero creep, and zero overtravel.
