Notes
The XPR platform was introduced in 2015 as Winchester's value-priced bolt-action line; the Extreme Hunter configuration with TrueTimber Midnight camo and Tungsten Cerakote is a later addition. Also offered in a range of chamberings including 6.5 PRC, .308 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, and .300 Winchester Magnum.
Background
Winchester introduced the XPR in 2015 as an affordable modern bolt-action to compete with budget hunting rifles, pairing a push-feed action with the company's M.O.A. trigger; the Extreme Hunter dressed that action in camo and Cerakote for backcountry big-game hunters.
