Winchester Repeating Arms 525207204 Xpert Strata SR Full Size 22 WMR 8+1 16.50" Matte Black Steel Threaded Barrel, Drilled & Tapped Matte Black Steel Receiver, TrueTimber Fixed Strata Synthetic Stock

The Winchester Xpert Strata SR in 22 WMR is a lightweight bolt-action rimfire rifle built for shooters who want precision, suppressor-ready capability, and genuine field camo without compromise. Chambered in 22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire, this full-size rifle pairs a 16.50-inch threaded barrel with a durable steel receiver and TrueTimber Strata synthetic stock—delivering a compact, handy platform for small-game hunting, target shooting, and suppressed shooting without the weight or bulk of centerfire alternatives.

The Xpert Strata SR comes drilled and tapped for optic mounts from the factory, and includes a two-piece scope base so you can mount glass immediately. The threaded barrel accommodates 1/2 x 28 TPI suppressors and ships with a knurled thread protector, making it straightforward to add suppression if you want quieter shooting. The precision three-lever Rimfire M.O.A. trigger is tuned for clean, predictable breaks—important when you're stretching distance or hunting in low light. Winchester's button-rifled barrel and target crown deliver the accuracy a good rimfire should offer.

The rifle's ergonomics favor field use: an extended bolt handle cycles smoothly, molded-in sling eyelets and a fore-end Picatinny rail let you configure for hunting or range work, and the ambidextrous magazine release works from either side. It ships with one 8-round rotary magazine and accepts aftermarket 10/22-pattern magazines for 22 LR (note: this model is 22 WMR, so verify mag compatibility before mixing calibers). The TrueTimber Strata stock is lightweight polymer—practical, durable, and finished in proven camo patterns for brush and timber.

Does this rifle come with iron sights or a scope?

The rifle does not include iron sights. It ships with a two-piece scope base and is drilled and tapped for standard Picatinny rings, so you can mount any compatible optic. The base makes it straightforward to add a scope immediately.

What magazines work with the Winchester Xpert Strata SR?

It includes one 8-round rotary magazine for 22 WMR. It also accepts aftermarket 10/22-pattern magazines intended for 22 LR. Since this rifle is chambered in 22 WMR (not 22 LR), verify any magazine you use is designed for your ammunition before loading and firing.
