Winchester Repeating Arms 5252271003 Xpert Target 21 Sharp 10+1 18" Matte Black Threaded Bull Barrel, Matte Black Picatinny Rail Steel Receiver, Gray Adj Comb & LOP Thumbhole Laminate Stock

The Winchester Xpert Target is a precision bolt-action rimfire rifle built for shooters who demand accuracy on the range. Chambered in 21 Sharp with a 10+1 capacity, this rimfire target rifle delivers the kind of shot-to-shot consistency that separates a good shooting day from a great one. The 18-inch matte black threaded bull barrel is button-rifled and crowned for repeatable precision, while the steel receiver is drilled and tapped for optic mounting right out of the box—no gunsmithing required.

The thumbhole laminate stock with gray finish and adjustable comb gives you fine control over your cheek weld and eye relief, essential when dialing in groups at distance. The gray laminated wood won't swell or shift like conventional furniture, so your zero stays put through seasons of use. An oversize bolt knob makes manipulation smooth and deliberate, and the extended bolt handle gives you solid leverage for cycling rounds. The Picatinny optics rail is matte black anodized and ready for your favorite scope or dot sight.

Magazine-wise, you get one rotary magazine in the box with 10-round capacity. The ambidextrous magazine release lets you work the mag from either side—choose the side-mounted rail or tab, depending on your grip preference. This rifle also accepts aftermarket 10/22 magazines if you want options. The 1/2 x 28 TPI threaded muzzle comes with a knurled thread protector, opening the door to suppressors or muzzle devices down the road. Sling swivel studs are installed and ready for a field sling or range strap.

The Xpert Target is purpose-built for shooters serious about rimfire accuracy—whether you're tuning loads, breaking in a new scope, or running a precision .22 training regimen. It's the kind of rifle that rewards good technique and tight fundamentals.
