I have a Winchester .308 XPR with just north of 350 rounds down the barrel. I also have Tikkas and a X-Bolt. It has taken an extraordinary effort to get my XPR to shoot a 1.25" 3-shot group consistently. The trigger is horrible, the rifle is heavy and crudely manufactured. Also, in a discussion with Winchester they have told me they have no parts available for purchase by the public. You cannot even get spare action screws for the XPR from them. Insofar as comparing the XPR to a Tikka or a X-Bolt-it is not reasonable to mention it in the same conversation with those rifles. I would strongly recommend that you look elsewhere for a budget rifle. CP.
