Winchester 5252091003 XPERT FC GRAY,SR,S,21 SHARP
The Winchester Xpert rimfire rifle in .21 Sharp is a precise, lightweight bolt-action platform built for shooters who demand accuracy without the weight penalty. Chambered in the new .21 Sharp caliber—Winchester's modern rimfire offering—this Xpert SR combines a button-rifled barrel with a three-lever adjustable Rimfire M.O.A. trigger for consistent, repeatable shot placement. Whether you're punching paper at the range, hunting small game, or testing a new cartridge, the Xpert delivers the accuracy and handling of a serious rimfire without compromise.
The rifle wears a lightweight polymer stock finished in a sleek carbon gray hydrographic pattern, paired with a Perma-Cote gray finish on the steel receiver and barrel. The muzzle is threaded 1/2 x 28 TPI with a knurled protector—ready for a suppressor when you want it. Fixed iron sights (ramped post front, fully adjustable rear) keep you running immediately out of the box, and the receiver is drilled and tapped for optic mounts if you prefer glass. An extended bolt handle and ambidextrous magazine release make this rifle equally at home in either hand, while the side-mounted rails add utility for accessories.
Magazine compatibility is a real-world advantage: the Xpert ships with one rotary magazine chambered for either .22 LR or .21 Sharp (10-round capacity), and it accepts common aftermarket 10/22-pattern magazines in both calibers. That means you can swap between ammo types, find spare mags off the shelf, and adapt your setup to your shooting needs without waiting for proprietary parts.
