The Winchester Xpert is the modern rimfire built on the successor to the Wildcat action, and it brings features to the category that used to require an aftermarket project — a factory-adjustable trigger, a receiver ready for optics, and a stock with adjustable length of pull via spacers so it grows with a young shooter.

This suppressor-ready model is chambered in .17 HMR with an 18-inch threaded barrel. The .17 HMR is a genuinely impressive round: it throws a tiny bullet at very high velocity, shoots exceptionally flat inside 150 yards, and is devastating on ground squirrels, prairie dogs, and other small varmints. Paired with a suppressor and a good scope, it makes for a very pleasant afternoon in a hay field.
