Features 

 
The Inflex recoil pad is designed to redirect recoil energy downward rather than straight back, which reduces muzzle rise during the shot. In 6.5 PRC that's noticeable. The cartridge pushes harder than 6.5 Creedmoor. At 40 inches overall with a 20-inch barrel, the rifle is compact for the chambering. 
 
The two-position thumb safety is ambidextrous-friendly and fast to clear. Sling swivel studs come installed, and the 5/8x24 thread pitch is standard for 6.5 caliber suppressors and most muzzle brakes. The 1:8 twist handles heavier 6.5mm projectiles (140-156 grain) well. 
 
The Perma-Cote finish is matte and corrosion-resistant. Drilled and tapped from the factory means scope mounting is straightforward without gunsmithing. 
 

Usage 

 
Left-handed shooters who want a 6.5 PRC at a mid-range price point have limited options. This fills that gap. The short 20-inch barrel makes it easier to manage in a blind or tight terrain, trading some velocity for packability. At 7.25 lbs it's on the heavier side for a hunting rifle but manageable.

Users who shoot left-handed consistently note the XPR SR as one of the few accessible options in 6.5 PRC, and that's a significant part of its appeal. Accuracy feedback is positive at both short and longer ranges. The bolt action is described as smooth, and the adjustable trigger gets credit for being easy to set up to personal preference.

Weight is the most common complaint. 7.25 lbs is heavier than comparable bolt-actions in this caliber, which matters on long pack hunts. Some users also note that competing rifles offer similar specifications at lower prices, which puts pressure on the value argument.

Overall reception is positive, with most owners satisfied with the combination of left-hand configuration, accuracy, and build quality, while acknowledging the weight as a trade-off.
