Winchester Repeating Arms 525206270 Xpert Strata Full Size 17 HMR 8+1 18" Matte Black Steel Threaded Barrel, Drilled & Tapped Matte Black Steel Receiver, TrueTimber Strata Synthetic Stock

The Winchester Xpert Strata is a lightweight bolt-action rimfire rifle built for hunters and shooters who demand accuracy without the heft. Chambered in 17 HMR with an 8+1 capacity, this full-size rifle pairs a precision button-rifled 18-inch barrel with a drilled-and-tapped matte black steel receiver ready for optics, plus it comes with a two-piece scope base to get you mounted quickly. The TrueTimber Strata synthetic stock delivers both concealment and durability in the field, while the threaded barrel opens options for suppressors or other muzzle devices—a practical touch for rimfire hunters who value hearing protection and reduced noise signature.

Winchester engineered the Xpert around the shooter, not the catalog. The precision Rimfire M.O.A. trigger adjusts via three levers and breaks clean, supporting the kind of shot placement you need for varmint and small-game hunting. The extended bolt handle cycles smoothly and fast, and the ambidextrous magazine release (accessible via side-mounted rails or release tab) means lefties and righties alike can reload without fumbling. Sling eyelets are molded into the stock, and a Picatinny rail at the fore-end tip gives you room to add lights, lasers, or other accessories if your hunting plan demands it.

This is a modern rimfire that respects tradition—a bolt-action that feels at home in the hands of someone who learned to shoot behind a .22 but wants better range and hitting power. At its core, the Xpert Strata is built to last and easy to shoot well, whether you're zeroing steel at 100 yards or stalking prairie dogs across open country.
