Description
Putting together a hunting rifle piece by piece gets expensive fast, and that is exactly why the Winchester XPR Scope Combo makes so much sense. Winchester took proven ideas from the legendary Model 70, built them into a modern, efficiently manufactured bolt action, then topped it with a Vortex Crossfire II 3-9×40 scope with a BDC reticle, already mounted on Weaver-style rings and bases. Chambered in .243 Winchester, it is a soft-shooting, flat-flying setup that handles everything from coyotes to whitetail, and the light recoil makes it a great fit for newer hunters and seasoned hands alike.
What Makes the XPR Combo Shoot So Well
The 22 inch chromoly steel barrel is button rifled with a 1:10 twist and fully free floated, so there are no pressure points working against your groups. A recessed target crown protects the rifling, and the M.O.A. Trigger System gives you a clean, consistent break with zero take-up and minimal overtravel. The bolt is machined from chromoly bar stock with three locking lugs and a short 60 degree lift, which keeps your hand clear of the scope when you cycle it fast. A nickel Teflon coating on the bolt body keeps the action running slick even after a wet morning in the stand.
Built for Real Hunts, Not the Showroom
The matte black composite stock shrugs off scratches and bad weather, and the Perma-Cote finish on the barrel and receiver is tough and glare free. An Inflex Technology recoil pad takes the edge off what little kick the .243 produces, and sling swivel studs come installed. The detachable 3-round box magazine drops free with the push of a button, and a two-position thumb safety with a bolt unlock button lets you cycle rounds out safely with the safety engaged. At 6 pounds 12 ounces before glass, it carries easy all day.
Winchester XPR .243 Combo, Ready for Opening Day
Set your zero, pattern a few loads, and this rig is hunt ready. The Crossfire II carries Vortex's VIP warranty, so the glass is covered for the long haul too.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Winchester XPR Scope Combo come with the scope already mounted?
Yes, the Vortex Crossfire II 3-9×40 comes mounted from the factory on Weaver-style rings and bases. Keep in mind you will still want to zero it yourself at the range with your hunting load before the season. Factory mounting saves you the cost of rings, bases, and mounting labor, but no rifle ships perfectly sighted in.
What is the .243 Winchester chambering best suited for?
The .243 Win is one of the most versatile short action cartridges around. With lighter bullets it is a legit varmint and predator round, and with 90 to 100 grain loads it handles deer and antelope cleanly at practical hunting distances. Its mild recoil also makes this a popular first big game rifle for younger and newer hunters.
What kind of trigger does the XPR have?
It uses Winchester's M.O.A. Trigger System, which is designed to break cleanly with zero take-up, zero creep, and minimal overtravel. The housing and internals are polished, hardened steel for durability and consistency. For a factory trigger on a working hunting rifle, it is one of the better ones in its class.
Is the scope on the XPR Combo covered by a warranty?
Yes, the Crossfire II carries Vortex's VIP warranty, which covers repair or replacement of the optic without receipts or registration hassles. The rifle itself is backed by Winchester Repeating Arms. Between the two, this combo is well covered for years of field use.
