The Winchester Xpert Sporter in 21 Sharp is a bolt-action rimfire rifle built for shooters who want real precision in a compact, handy package. Chambered in the newer 21 Sharp cartridge—a SHOT Show introduction that delivers more velocity and flatter trajectory than standard 22 LR—this rifle pairs a button-rifled barrel with Winchester's proven Rimfire M.O.A. trigger system to deliver consistent accuracy at the range or in the field. The 18-inch matte black barrel keeps weight down and maneuverability high, while the drilled and tapped steel receiver accepts any standard optic mount, giving you flexibility to run a scope or go old-school with the included ramped front and fully adjustable rear sights.
Build quality is where the Xpert Sporter earns its keep. The satin-finished hardwood stock with traditional checkering feels right in your hands and won't slide around in a pack or truck bed. The button-rifled barrel is crowned and fitted with a Bentz-style chamber for reliable feeding and consistent performance across the 21 Sharp round. The three-lever adjustable Rimfire M.O.A. trigger breaks cleanly and predictably, crucial for a rimfire where every shot counts. An extended bolt handle speeds up cycling, and the ambidextrous magazine release (operable via side-mounted rails or release tab) makes this rifle equally at home for right- or left-handed shooters.
One 10-round rotary magazine ships with your rifle, and the design accepts standard aftermarket 10/22 magazines in both 22 LR and 21 Sharp, so you can stock up on affordable options without hunting down proprietary parts. Whether you're zeroing a first optic, teaching a young shooter, or running drills at the rimfire range, the Xpert Sporter delivers the accuracy and ergonomics you'd expect from Winchester's heritage without the frills or bloat.

Yes. The steel receiver is drilled and tapped for standard optic mounts, so you can attach a rimfire scope or other optic. The rifle ships with open sights, but the mounting locations are ready for your scope of choice.
The Xpert Sporter ships with one 10-round rotary magazine. It also accepts aftermarket 10/22-style magazines in both 21 Sharp and 22 LR, giving you plenty of options for additional capacity and availability.
Yes. The 21 Sharp is a newer Winchester cartridge that delivers higher velocity and flatter trajectory than standard 22 LR, making it a ballistically superior option while maintaining rimfire affordability and the ability to use compatible 10/22 magazines.
The ambidextrous magazine release (operable via side-mounted rails or a release tab) makes loading and unloading easier for both right and left-handed shooters. The bolt is centrally located and the rifle's layout is fairly neutral, though the stock design itself is not a dedicated left-hand model.
