Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Vortex Crossfire scope already mounted and zeroed?
The scope comes mounted from the factory but will need to be zeroed for your specific ammunition and shooting conditions.
What's the effective range of this rifle in 270 WSM?
With proper shot placement, the 270 WSM is effective on deer-sized game out to 400+ yards. The cartridge maintains energy well at distance.
Does this rifle come with a case?
No, the rifle ships without a case. We recommend our rifle cases for transport and storage.
Is the trigger adjustable?
The M.O.A. trigger is factory set between 3.5-4 lbs and is not user-adjustable without gunsmithing.
Where can I buy Winchester XPR rifles online?
Kansas Gunshop (kansas-gunshop.com) carries the full Winchester XPR lineup with fast shipping from Wichita, KS.
How does the recoil compare to standard 270 Win?
The 270 WSM generates slightly more recoil than 270 Win, but the XPR's Inflex recoil pad does an excellent job mitigating it.
