Winchester Xpert Magazine 17Wsm 8Rd17 Wsm

The Winchester Xpert Magazine in 17 WSM is a purpose-built magazine for Winchester's Xpert bolt-action rifle platform. Built with a lightweight polymer body and reinforced metal feed lips, this 8-round rotary magazine delivers the reliable, consistent feeding that serious rimfire shooters demand—whether you're ringing steel at distance or managing varmint control. A spare magazine keeps you in the field longer without downtime.

The rotary design ensures smooth, reliable ammunition feeding through the magazine cycle, while the Speed Load/Unload feature gives you a convenient way to manually relieve spring pressure on the follower. This makes loading and unloading faster and easier, especially useful when you're switching loads or securing the firearm. The metal feed lips stand up to repeated cycling and extend the magazine's service life, making this a durable choice for regular use.

If you own a Winchester Wildcat autoloading rifle, this magazine also features an integrated bolt stop that automatically locks the bolt open after the last round fires—a genuine safety and convenience feature that speeds up reloading and keeps your hands clear of the action. For Xpert bolt-action shooters, you get the rotary reliability without the auto-stop function, but the same rock-solid feeding and build quality.
