Winchester Repeating Arms 535800220 XPR Extreme 308 Winchester3+1 22" Tungsten Cerakote Fluted Threaded Barrel & Drilled & Tapped Steel Receiver, Fixed TrueTimber VSX Synthetic Stock

The Winchester XPR Extreme in 308 Winchester is a modern hunting rifle built for shooters who demand reliability, precision, and durability in the field. This 3+1 bolt-action combines Winchester's proven XPR platform with Extreme-series upgrades: a Tungsten Cerakote finish on the receiver and 22-inch fluted, threaded barrel for corrosion resistance and a clean aesthetic, a fixed TrueTimber VSX camo stock that disappears in mixed hardwoods and brush, and a fully drilled and tapped receiver ready to mount your glass. Whether you're hunting whitetail at 100 yards or working up loads at the range, the XPR Extreme delivers sub-MOA accuracy and enough aftermarket support to customize as you go.

At its core sits a robust steel receiver machined from solid stock, paired with a bolt crafted from chrome-moly steel bar. Winchester's M.O.A. Trigger System breaks cleanly and consistently, while the nickel Teflon coating on the bolt body resists corrosion and ensures smooth cycling even after months in a truck or pack. The recessed target crown protects the barrel's muzzle, and the button-rifled, free-floated barrel maximizes accuracy by isolating it from stock pressure. A steel recoil lug anchors the action, and the Inflex Technology recoil pad soaks up .308's thump without flinching.

Practical touches abound: a two-position thumb safety won't fumble when gloved, sling swivel studs are factory-installed, the detachable box magazine makes loading and unloading intuitive, and a threaded muzzle allows you to run a brake, suppressor, or flash hider depending on your mission. The 308 Winchester round itself is as versatile as hunting gets—proven on everything from whitetail to elk, and ammo is stocked everywhere.
