The Winchester® XPR™ Hunter Bolt-Action Rifle combines proven concepts from Winchester's time-tested Model 70 with modern manufacturing processes and materials to produce a great hunting rifle at an affordable price. This XPR Hunter package comes with a composite stock, featuring full TrueTimber® Strata® camo, and a Permacote FDE finished barrel and receiver. TrueTimber Strata is an excellent all-purpose camo pattern that blends into nearly any environment at any distance. An innovative Inflex Technology Recoil Pad absorbs recoil considerably. A factory-mounted and bore sighted Vortex Crossfire II 3-9x40mm scope, with a BDC reticle, allows you to obtain the rifle's true accuracy potential. Precision accuracy is ensured with a solid steel receiver that sits solidly in the polymer stock with a cross-mounted recoil lug, and a free-floated, target-crowned barrel. The XPR uses a newly designed M.O.A. Trigger system that's adjustable for both over-travel and pull weight. The bolt on the XPR has 3 locking lugs with a short 60° lift. The Winchester XPR Hunter bolt-action rifle has a 2-position thumb safety that locks the bolt when engaged. The bolt can also be cycled when the safety is engaged by using the bolt release button. A cocking indicator on the bolt shroud can be seen or felt by the user to know if the rifle is cocked and ready to fire. A detachable, single-stack magazine facilitates loading and unloading the rifle.
The Tikka T3x is the next generation of the renowned T3 rifle. These new T3x rifles are built to the same standards that so many have come to rely on from the original T3, and continue to boast a hammer forged barrel, sturdy stocks, and smooth bolt actions. They still offer a 3-shot sub-MOA accuracy guarantee right out of the box, and will continue to represent the great value of the Tikka rifle line. Some new features that set the T3x apart from its older brother include the following:
-Improved asymmetrical grip pattern and shape that will better accommodate grip in any condition
-Upgraded recoil pad to mitigate felt recoil
-Foam insert to lessen noise that is produced from the stock (not available in models with adjustable cheek piece)
-Redesigned ejection port that creates easier single feeding through the ejection port
-Improved rail attachment via an extra screw placement on top of the receiver for sturdier rail placement
-A robust metallic bolt shroud to cover and shield the rear of the bolt body and firing pin
-Steel recoil lug to decrease deformation even in larger calibers compared the aluminum ones in use in T3 rifles
-Chassis made by Tikka are short action only.
