Winchester Repeating Arms 535800212 .243 Win 22" 4-Round Rifle

The Winchester Repeating Arms 535800212 .243 Win 22" 4-Round Rifle represents a time-proven platform built for precision shooting across hunting, target, and law enforcement applications. Chambered in .243 Winchester, this rifle delivers flat trajectory, minimal recoil, and exceptional accuracy at extended ranges—making it ideal for shooters who demand performance without excessive muzzle impulse. The 22-inch barrel strikes a balance between velocity retention and handling practicality, while the 4-round magazine capacity provides adequate ammunition for field scenarios without excessive weight or bulk.

Winchester's repeating action on this model features a robust bolt-action mechanism engineered for reliability under demanding field conditions. The .243 Win cartridge generates approximately 2,960 feet per second from a 22-inch barrel with 100-grain ammunition, delivering energy suitable for medium-game hunting and precision target work. The 4-round detachable or fixed magazine system (depending on configuration) ensures controlled feeding while maintaining a compact profile. Winchester's quality control and headspace tolerances ensure shot-to-shot consistency and long-term durability—critical factors for tactical, hunting, and competitive applications where precision cannot be compromised.

Law enforcement precision riflemen, varmint hunters, and competitive shooters benefit most from this Winchester platform. The .243 Win's lower recoil characteristics allow rapid shot placement and easier target reacquisition compared to larger magnum cartridges—a tactical advantage in high-stress scenarios. The 22-inch barrel length makes this rifle suitable for vehicle transport and confined-space operations while maintaining sufficient velocity for 300-yard effective range performance. Compatibility with standard Winchester .243 Win ammunition ensures ammunition availability across civilian, law enforcement, and military supply chains. The rifle's modular design supports the addition of tactical stocks, optic mounts, and sound suppressors (where legally permitted) for mission-specific customization.
