Winchester Repeating Arms 535783212 .243 Win 20" 4-Round Bolt-Action Rifle

The Winchester Repeating Arms .243 Win 20" 4-Round Bolt-Action Rifle (Model 535783212) is a precision bolt-action platform designed for hunters, marksmen, and tactical riflemen who demand accuracy without excessive recoil. The .243 Winchester cartridge delivers exceptional velocity and flat trajectory ideal for medium-range hunting, competitive shooting, and training applications where follow-up shot capability and shooter control are paramount. This compact 20-inch configuration balances portability with sufficient barrel length for optimal velocity and sight-radius performance in field conditions.

Winchester's XPR bolt-action design features a reliable push-feed mechanism with controlled-round feeding, ensuring positive ammunition chambering under demanding conditions. The 4-round magazine capacity provides adequate firepower for tactical scenarios while maintaining a compact profile suitable for vehicle and close-quarters deployment. The 20-inch barrel optimizes the .243 Winchester's 3,000+ fps muzzle velocity, delivering lethal energy transfer and minimal wind drift at extended ranges—critical attributes for precision work. The bolt-action design eliminates semi-automatic complexity, reducing maintenance requirements and improving reliability in austere environments where gunsmith support may be limited.

Law enforcement marksmen, designated riflemen, and precision hunters will appreciate this rifle's inherent accuracy potential and the .243's lower recoil impulse, which facilitates faster target reacquisition and reduces shooter fatigue during extended shooting sessions. The platform accepts standard Winchester XPR magazine systems and integrates seamlessly with modern picatinny-rail equipped optics and accessories. Proper maintenance—regular cleaning of the bolt face and chamber—ensures long-service reliability. This rifle is classified as a regulated firearm; FFL transfer and compliance with all federal, state, and local firearms regulations are required at point of sale.
