The Winchester XPR .300 WSM 24in Scope Combo Vortex 3-9×40 pairs a purpose-built bolt-action rifle with a factory-mounted Vortex Crossfire II scope, delivering a ready-to-hunt package for serious shooters. Chambered in .300 Winchester Short Magnum, this combo delivers flat trajectories and retained energy at extended ranges, with the Vortex optic zeroed and ready out of the box. Per Winchester specs, the XPR action cycles smoothly under field conditions, making this a reliable choice for law enforcement marksmen and military personnel operating in austere environments.

Key Features
- Button-Rifled, Free-Floating Barrel — Delivers sub-MOA accuracy potential by eliminating barrel contact with the stock, maintaining consistent harmonics shot after shot.
- Vortex Crossfire II 3-9×40 Scope — Factory-mounted and optically centered, this optic provides a generous field of view for close-quarters timber work and enough magnification for 400-yard shots on game or steel.
- M.O.A. Trigger System — Adjustable from 3.5 to 5.5 lbs, the crisp break reduces shooter-induced error, critical for precision engagements under stress.
- Inflex Technology Recoil Pad — Redirects recoil impulse downward and away from the cheek, allowing faster follow-up shots and reducing shooter fatigue during extended range sessions.
- Detachable Single-Stack Box Magazine — Enables quick reloads without fumbling with floorplates, and the steel magazine body withstands drops on concrete.
Who It’s For
This combo is built for law enforcement snipers who need a compact magnum rifle for vehicle or building operations, military personnel requiring a reliable backup precision rifle, and serious hunters tackling large game in open country. The .300 WSM cartridge delivers energy comparable to .300 Win Mag in a shorter action, reducing overall rifle length without sacrificing terminal performance.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Ready-to-shoot out of the box with Vortex optics; M.O.A. trigger is crisp and adjustable; free-floated barrel for consistent accuracy; Inflex pad tames .300 WSM recoil; affordable price point compared to custom builds.
- Cons: The synthetic stock lacks the rigidity of aluminum chassis systems, which may limit precision beyond 600 yards for extreme long-range shooters.

Compared to a Geissele semi-auto platform, the XPR offers a magnum chambering and included optic at a fraction of the cost. Against a Timney trigger upgrade, the XPR’s M.O.A. trigger delivers similar adjustability without requiring gunsmith installation. The .300 WSM offers 40% more retained energy at 500 yards than 5.56 NATO, making it a superior choice for medium-to-large game or barrier penetration.
FAQ
Is the Vortex scope already mounted and zeroed?
Yes, the Vortex Crossfire II 3-9×40 is factory-mounted on the XPR receiver using Weaver-style rings. The scope is optically centered but requires final zeroing at the range. Vortex offers a lifetime unconditional warranty on the optic.
Can I use standard .300 Win Mag ammunition in this rifle?
No. The .300 Winchester Short Magnum uses a different case design (short, fat) and is not interchangeable with .300 Win Mag. Only .300 WSM ammunition is safe to fire.
What is the magazine capacity?
The detachable single-stack box magazine holds 3 rounds of .300 WSM. Aftermarket options from manufacturers like Accurate-Mag offer 5-round extended magazines for increased capacity.
Does the stock have sling swivel studs?
Yes. The synthetic stock includes front and rear sling swivel studs, compatible with quick-detach bipods and slings. The forend is slotted for optional Picatinny rail installation.
Is the barrel threaded for a suppressor?
No. The 24-inch barrel is not threaded. Aftermarket threading by a qualified gunsmith is possible, but it may void the Winchester warranty and requires a minimum barrel wall thickness check.
