Being the owner of two of these rifles (one in .243 win and the other in .300 WM) I wish to know its history and all possible data that distinguish this XTR from all the other Win models ...

Since Winchester own web site doesn�t appear to be very useful at all , I hope any of all the guys here would "enlighten" me ...

Thank you all in advance

I think the XTR was the "flagship" line for Winchester from about 1978 through the late 80s, much like the Classic was/is from 1990ish to present.

Not sure what XTR means but I also have one in 300 win mag and it is a great rifle. I do not care much for its flashy looks i.e. the whitle line spacers, monte carlo cheek piece, 45* forend, etc... But the gun will shoot like nobodies' business.

Here is a picture of my 300 win with a 2x8 burris signature scope on it.
