Specifications & Details
| Caliber | 6.5 Creedmoor |
| Barrel Length | 22 inches |
| Overall Length | 42.5 inches (approx.) |

The rifle’s core is the XPR action, which uses a forged, fluted steel bolt with three locking lugs for smooth operation and strength. The 22-inch sporter contour barrel is free-floated within the composite stock, a feature that aids accuracy by minimizing pressure points. The detachable box magazine is a practical touch for safe unloading and quick reloads. At a total package weight around 7.3 pounds, it’s manageable for long stalks but stable enough for a steady shot. The real value kicker is the included Vortex optic—a brand known for quality glass and an unbeatable warranty that you’d typically spend $150-$200 on separately. That said, pairing it with this rifle at a total price of $674.44 creates a compelling budget proposition.
Who This Rifle Is For
This package is built for the hunter who wants performance without the premium price tag. It’s ideal for Missouri whitetail hunters looking to stretch their range ethically, or for new shooters entering the world of precision rifle shooting with 6.5 Creedmoor. If you’re tired of piecing together a rifle and scope combo and just want one SKU that works, this is it. It also suits the budget-conscious long-range enthusiast who understands that the fundamentals—a good trigger, free-floated barrel, and a clear scope—matter more than exotic brand names.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Exceptional out-of-the-box value; includes a reputable Vortex scope; the adjustable M.O.A. trigger is a standout feature for the price; 6.5 Creedmoor is inherently accurate with mild recoil; camo finish is durable and practical; free-floated barrel aids consistency.
Cons: The composite stock, while functional, lacks the premium feel of a laminate or fiberglass; the magazine release can be stiff initially; at 22 inches, the barrel is a touch shorter than some precision shooters prefer for maximizing 6.5 Creedmoor velocity—but for hunting, it’s a perfect balance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the scope already mounted and bore-sighted?
A: Yes. The Vortex Crossfire II scope comes mounted on the rifle using a Picatinny-style base and rings. It is typically bore-sighted at the factory, but you will need to perform a final zeroing at the range with your chosen ammunition. No gunsmithing is required to get started.
Q: What kind of accuracy can I expect from this package?
A: With quality factory ammunition and a steady shooter, sub-MOA (Minute of Angle) groups are a reasonable expectation. The free-floated barrel, crisp trigger, and stable scope platform provide the foundation. Many users report consistent 1-inch groups at 100 yards with match-grade or premium hunting ammo.
Q: Are extra magazines available and are they expensive?
A: Yes, extra detachable box magazines are available from Winchester and aftermarket suppliers. They are generally affordable and easy to find, allowing you to carry a spare loaded magazine in the field. The rifle is also compatible with other XPR magazines in the same caliber.
