The Winchester Xpert Shadow SR is a bolt-action rimfire rifle chambered in .17 WSM. It is built around an 18-inch steel barrel with a threaded muzzle, and it pairs a matte black metal finish with a black synthetic stock. The rifle feeds from an 8-round rotary magazine, giving it an optics-ready, field-focused rimfire configuration.

Owners of the Xpert Shadow SR generally like the smooth cycling of Winchester's bolt action and describe the rotary magazine as easy to load and dependable in the field. The threaded barrel gets picked out as a practical touch for shooters who want to add a suppressor or muzzle device without gunsmithing.

Some feel the synthetic stock feels plain next to higher-end rimfire rifles, though most agree it holds up fine to field use and keeps the rifle light. The adjustable trigger is a frequent highlight, with several owners noting it breaks cleaner than they expected out of the box.

For the money, the Shadow SR is generally seen as a solid value in the 17 WSM class, and mounting a scope is straightforward thanks to the drilled and tapped receiver. It's viewed as a practical varmint and small-game rifle rather than a showpiece.
