The 17 WSM is the fastest rimfire cartridge you can buy, pushing 20 grain bullets to around 3,000 fps, and the Winchester Xpert SR puts that speed in a package that makes a lot of sense for varmint work. The 16.5-inch precision button-rifled barrel wears a semi-match Bentz-style chamber and a target crown, and the muzzle is threaded 1/2×28 with a knurled protector so you can spin on a suppressor whenever you're ready. A can on a 17 WSM takes a lot of the bark out of the cartridge, and the shorter barrel keeps the whole setup handy instead of turning into a boat oar.
Winchester borrowed the M.O.A. trigger concept from the Model 70 and XPR centerfire rifles and built a rimfire version for the Xpert. It's a three-lever adjustable design tuned for a clean break without the creep and overtravel you get from most budget rimfire triggers. Pair that with the drilled-and-tapped steel receiver, mount a decent scope, and this rifle will reach out on prairie dogs and ground squirrels well past where a 22 WMR runs out of steam. Range reports on these rifles are encouraging too, with groups tightening up nicely once the barrel gets a hundred rounds or so through it.
This version pairs a synthetic stock in carbon gray hydrographics with gray Perma-Cote metalwork, a combination that shrugs off weather and looks sharp doing it. At roughly 4.5 pounds and just under 35 inches overall, it carries all day without complaint, and the extended bolt handle gives you good leverage for quick cycling with gloves on. The 8-round detachable rotary magazine sits flush and feeds reliably, with an ambidextrous release you can work from either side.
There aren't many rifles chambered for this screamer of a cartridge, and fewer still that come this light, this affordable, and suppressor-ready from the factory. For pest control around the property or a dedicated truck gun for varmint season, this one checks the right boxes.
Yes, that's what the SR stands for. The 16.5-inch barrel comes threaded 1/2×28 with a knurled thread protector installed, so most rimfire suppressors thread right on. No suppressor is included with the rifle.
No. The 17 WSM and 17 HMR are completely different cartridges with different case dimensions, and they are not interchangeable in either direction. This rifle is chambered only for 17 WSM, which runs 20 grain loads around 3,000 fps, well beyond what the HMR can do.
Absolutely, and with a cartridge this flat-shooting you'll want to. The steel receiver comes drilled and tapped for scope bases, so mounting an optic is straightforward. It also ships with iron sights, a ramped post up front and an adjustable leaf in the rear, for use without glass.
It's a varmint and small game specialist. With 20 grain bullets leaving the muzzle around 3,000 fps, it shoots flatter and hits harder at distance than 17 HMR or 22 WMR, making it a favorite for prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and pest control out past 200 yards. Factory ammo is available from Winchester and Federal in several bullet weights.
