Update:
One of the local outdoor stores where I live decided that they are going to move away from selling firearms and focus more on selling other outdoor stuff and clothing. The owner put every firearm in sell and had some big discounts.
Unfortunately, I had drill this past weekend and their stock was almost gone by the time I went over on Monday. They only had two rifles left. One was a Winchester XPR 308 that had a Vortex Crossfire II 3-9x40 scope and Ruger American 270 with the same scope.
Ended up getting the Winchester. I liked the Ruger but I wanted a 308. The XPR felt fairly comfortable and the trigger felt smooth. Don’t know much about the XPR and don’t know if it is a good rifle. I haven’t had an opportunity to shoot it yet.
Has anyone owned a XPR? Any opinions on it?

.308 is a great whitetail round. Congrats.

The only knock on the XPR is that trigger, with some of them coming off the line heavy or with inconsistent pulls. They also had a recall on them a few years back, so it would be worth checking if your gun was old stock and included in those years. If you like the trigger and it feels smooth to you, then you got one of the best options in that price range.
