The Winchester XPR Hunter 6.5 Creedmoor 22in FDE w/ Vortex 3-9×40 is a factory-combo that skips the guesswork. You get a rifle zeroed for the range and a scope that holds zero. The 22-inch barrel with a 1:8 twist stabilizes 140-grain ELD-Ms and heavy hunting loads alike. This is a drop-in solution for shooters who want a precision hunting rig without the upcharge of a custom build.

Key Features
- Factory-Mounted Vortex Crossfire II 3-9×40 – The scope is pre-mounted and boresighted at the factory, so you can zero in under 10 rounds. No extra rings, no guesswork.
- M.O.A. Trigger System – Per Winchester specs, the trigger breaks clean at 3.5 pounds with zero creep. That consistent let-off matters when you’re holding on a buck at 300 yards.
- 22-Inch Barrel, 1:8 Twist – The 1:8 twist rate stabilizes everything from 120-grain GMXs to 147-grain ELD-Ms. You get sub-MOA groups with match ammo, verified by multiple shooters.
- True Timber Strata Stock – The FDE camouflage pattern breaks up your outline in open country and timber. The stock also has a soft rubber buttpad that cuts recoil by 30% compared to hard plastic.
- Drilled-and-Tapped Receiver – If you want to swap optics later, the receiver is already tapped for standard bases. No gunsmith needed.
Who It’s For
This combo is built for the hunter who wants a ready-to-hunt rifle that shoots flat and hits hard. The 6.5 Creedmoor is a proven performer on deer, antelope, and even elk with proper bullet selection. If you’re a competition shooter who also hunts, the 1:8 twist and Vortex glass let you stretch out to 600+ yards on steel.
Pros and Cons
- Pro: Factory-mounted scope means zero extra cost for rings or mounting. The Vortex Crossfire II has a lifetime warranty.
- Pro: Sub-MOA accuracy out of the box with match ammo. The 1:8 twist is ideal for heavy-for-caliber bullets.
- Con: The 3-round magazine is adequate for hunting but limited for extended range sessions. Aftermarket 5- and 10-round mags are available.

The Winchester XPR Hunter combo saves you $150+ over buying a rifle and scope separately. The Ruger American Predator is a solid budget option, but you’ll spend extra on rings and a scope. The Savage 110 Hunter has an adjustable AccuTrigger, but the Winchester’s M.O.A. trigger is just as clean out of the box.
