Winchester Repeating Arms 535720212 .243 Win 20" 4-Round Bolt-Action Rifle

The Winchester Repeating Arms 535720212 .243 Win 20" 4-Round Bolt-Action Rifle is a compact, precision-engineered platform designed for hunters, marksmen, and tactical riflers who demand accuracy in a maneuverable package. Chambered in .243 Winchester—a cartridge renowned for flat trajectory, minimal recoil, and versatility across medium-range hunting applications—this rifle balances performance with practical field weight. At 8.6 pounds with a 20-inch barrel, it delivers the ballistic performance of larger platforms while remaining quick-handling in brush, vehicle, and confined-space scenarios.

Winchester's proven bolt-action mechanism ensures reliable feeding, consistent lockup, and straightforward maintenance—critical attributes in field conditions where simplicity translates to dependability. The four-round capacity reflects a balance between firepower and prudent magazine management, while the 20-inch barrel maximizes velocity (approximately 3,100 feet per second with standard .243 loads) without excessive length or weight penalty. This combination generates a ballistic coefficient and sectional density suitable for varmint work, predator control, and medium-game hunting out to 300 yards, depending on ammunition selection and shooter skill. The compact profile and moderate recoil impulse make it ideal for shooters seeking precision without fatigue accumulation during extended shooting sessions.

This rifle serves hunters, sport shooters, and rural property managers requiring a versatile, ammunition-efficient platform that performs across diverse terrain and weather conditions. The bolt-action design accommodates most standard Remington 700 aftermarket components, barrels, and triggers, enabling customization for precision or hunting workflows. Mounting a quality optic via Weaver or Picatinny rails—standard on modern Winchester rifles—transforms this platform into a sub-MOA rifle when paired with premium ammunition and careful handloads. Law enforcement and military personnel transitioning to civilian use will recognize the Winchester's ergonomic simplicity and rapid target acquisition potential, making it suitable for training, qualification, or defensive applications where intermediate-range precision is paramount.
