Compact does not mean less. In fact every feature that defines the XPR as one of the best values and most accurate bolt action rifles in the world can be yours in this model. The Mossy Oak Break-Up Country camo looks superb to you plus will never be seen by the game you are after.
It is about fit. Smaller and younger shooters will feel the difference. With the shorter barrel and shorter length of pull it balances well in your hands. And a selection of all the best calibers lets you use exactly what you need: lower recoil or topo tier performance.
M.O.A. TRIGGER SYSTEM with zero take-up, zero creep and zero overtravel gives you outstanding accuracy
BOLT UNLOCK BUTTON allows the chamber to be unloaded with the thumb safety in the on-safe position
NICKEL TEFLON® on the bolt body offers smoother operation and added corrosion resistance
DETACHABLE BOX MAGAZINE is a single stack design constructed from a rugged polymer for greater reliability
ADVANCED POLYMER STOCK IN TWO POPULAR MOSSY OAK® CAMO PATTERNS including Mountain Country Range and Break-Up Country®. Textured panels help improve wet weather grip, while the flattened fore-end profile improves stability from sandbags or a benchrest
SHORTER 13" LENGTH OF PULL OF THE COMPACT MODEL makes it perfect for younger shooters and those of smaller stature.
PERMA-COTE™ MATTE BLACK METAL SURFACES (Matte gray metal surfaces on Hunter Compact models) minimize glare to help prevent game-spooking reflections and protect from corrosion
INFLEX TECHNOLOGY RECOIL PAD directs energy down and away from your cheek to reduce “felt recoil”
STEEL RECOIL LUG is inletted into the stock to prevent the receiver from twisting under recoil for more reliable and predictable long-range accuracy
RECEIVER IS MACHINED FROM SOLID STEEL BAR STOCK and through-hardened during heat treating for longer life and enhanced accuracy
TWO-POSITION THUMB SAFETY and a cocking indicator show the XPR® rifle’s safety status at a glance or by feel
BUTTON-RIFLED, FREE-FLOATED STEEL BARREL is thermally stress-relieved then precisely aligned and headspaced during assembly via the barrel nut
RECESSED TARGET CROWN protects the muzzle rifling from wear and impact damage to help maintain greater accuracy

Caliber Dictionary
The Below Information Has Been Provided From Our Gun Caliber Dictionary And Is Meant For Informational Purposes Only. It Is Not Intended to Describe The Unique Specifications For This Ammunition.
The 270 WSM (Winchester Short Magnum) was introduced in 2001 along with the 7mm WSM as the second and thirds members of Winchester's family of short magnums. It uses short (2.10-inch) case suitable for housing in a short bolt action, and with its short, fat .555-inch base diameter) unbelted case it is an accurate and efficient cartridge. With 130-grain bullets at 3300 feet per second and 150-grain bullets at 3150 it is faster than the 270 Winchester (and delivers more energy)...but but not quite as fast as the 270 Weatherby Magnum. Excellent for deer and mountain game and suitable for elk, it has a significant following and is probably the second-most popular of the several short magnums (after the 300 Winchester Short Magnum). Several manufacturers have chambered rifles, and ammunition is available from multiple sources. Gunwriter Craig Boddington has written that it is "the most useful of the new group of short magnum cartridges." — Craig Boddington
