The Winchester XPR Hunter .308 Win 22in w/ Vortex 3-9×40 is a bolt-action hunting rifle that comes ready to shoot out of the box. It pairs a 22-inch barrel with a factory-mounted Vortex Crossfire II 3-9×40 scope, making it a practical choice for deer season or range work. The TrueTimber Strata camo stock and Flat Dark Earth Cerakote finish give it a rugged look that holds up in the field.

Key Features
- Factory-Mounted Vortex Crossfire II 3-9×40 Scope – The BDC reticle helps you hold over for longer shots without dialing, and the scope is already mounted and bore-sighted from the factory. That saves you setup time and extra cost.
- 22-Inch Barrel in .308 Winchester – The 22-inch barrel gives you a good balance of velocity and maneuverability in brush or timber. .308 is a proven deer cartridge with plenty of energy out to 300 yards.
- TrueTimber Strata Camo Stock – The synthetic stock uses TrueTimber Strata pattern to break up your outline in wooded or field environments. It’s also lightweight and resistant to weather.
- Flat Dark Earth Cerakote Metal Finish – Cerakote adds corrosion resistance and reduces glare, which matters when you’re sitting in a blind or glassing across a field. The FDE color matches the camo stock well.
- Drilled and Tapped for Additional Optics – If you want to swap the scope later, the receiver is already drilled and tapped for aftermarket bases. That gives you flexibility without gunsmith work.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for the hunter who wants a complete package without piecing together a scope and rings. It’s also a solid pick for the first-time bolt-action buyer who wants a reliable .308 that’s ready to hunt right away. If you’re a recreational shooter looking for a versatile rifle for target practice and deer season, the XPR Hunter fits that role.
