Winchester took the accuracy-first approach from the Model 70 and XPR playbook and built it into a rimfire that punches well above its weight. The Xpert Thumbhole Target in .22 LR centers on an 18 inch button-rifled bull barrel with a target crown and a semi-match Bentz-style chamber, the kind of details that tighten groups without you having to do anything but feed it good ammo. The muzzle comes threaded 1/2×28 with a knurled thread protector, so adding a suppressor or muzzle device down the road is a simple swap.
The standout here is the Rimfire M.O.A. Trigger, a three-lever design borrowed from Winchester's centerfire rifles. It breaks clean with no creep, no take-up, and no overtravel, which matters a lot when you are trying to squeeze everything out of a rimfire at 50 or 100 yards. A hemispherical firing pin adds consistent ignition with rimfire ammunition, and the extended bolt handle with oversized knob gives you extra leverage for fast, smooth cycling from the bench.
The laminated wood stock is more than good looks. Laminate resists shifting with weather changes, which helps keep your point of impact where you left it. The adjustable comb lets you line your eye up perfectly behind a scope, length of pull adjusts to fit your build, and the vertical grip and wider fore-end settle nicely into bags or a rest. The steel receiver is drilled and tapped and ships with a Picatinny rail installed, so mounting glass takes minutes.
Feeding comes from the same reliable 10-round rotary magazine used in the Winchester Wildcat, and the Xpert also accepts aftermarket 10/22 pattern magazines, so spares are cheap and everywhere. Dual ambidextrous magazine releases drop the mag right into your hand, and sling swivel studs are already in place for a sling or bipod. Whether your thing is NRL22 style matches, tightening groups off the bench, or teaching a new shooter proper fundamentals, this one earns its spot in the safe.
Yes. It ships with a 10-round rotary magazine, the same one used in the Winchester Wildcat, and it also runs aftermarket 10/22 pattern .22 LR magazines. That makes spare mags inexpensive and easy to find just about anywhere.
It is. The 18 inch bull barrel comes threaded 1/2×28 TPI, which is the standard rimfire suppressor pitch, and a knurled thread protector is included to keep the threads clean when nothing is attached.
This target model is set up for glass. The steel receiver is drilled and tapped and comes with a Picatinny rail already installed, so you can mount a scope or red dot right away. The adjustable comb on the laminate stock lets you fine-tune your cheek weld to line up with whatever optic you choose.
It is one of the best in this class of rimfire. Winchester's Rimfire M.O.A. Trigger is a three-lever design based on the trigger in the Model 70 and XPR, with essentially no creep, take-up, or overtravel. The result is a light, clean break that helps you get the most out of the bull barrel.
