Key Features
- Left-Hand Bolt Action – Designed specifically for left-handed shooters, with the bolt handle and ejection port on the correct side. This means you keep your cheek on the stock and your eye on the target through every cycle.
- 6.5 PRC Chambering – A modern long-range cartridge that pushes a 140-grain bullet at 2,950 fps. You get less wind drift and drop than a .270 Win or .30-06, making first-round hits at distance more consistent.
- Free-Floating Button-Rifled Barrel – The 24-inch sporter barrel is button-rifled for consistent accuracy and free-floated so stock pressure won’t throw your shot. Expect sub-MOA groups with factory match ammo.
- Precision M.O.A. Trigger System – Adjustable from 3 to 5 pounds, this trigger breaks crisp with zero creep. Per Winchester specs, it’s factory-set at 3.5 lb for a clean release that helps you shoot tighter groups.
- Inflex Technology Recoil Pad – The rubber pad uses directional ports to redirect recoil down and away from your shoulder. It cuts felt recoil noticeably, especially with heavier 6.5 PRC loads.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for the left-handed hunter who’s tired of making do with right-hand actions. If you’re after a do-it-all western rifle for elk, mule deer, and pronghorn out to 600 yards, the XPR LH gives you the ballistics without the weight penalty. It also fits new lefty shooters who want a reliable, accurate rifle that won’t break the bank.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: True left-hand action, excellent 6.5 PRC ballistics, sub-MOA accuracy potential, adjustable trigger, lightweight at 7 lb 2 oz, affordable price point.
- Cons: The synthetic stock feels a bit hollow compared to wood or laminate options – it works fine, but it doesn’t have the same heft or appearance. Also, the detachable magazine can be stiff to insert when fully loaded.

FAQ
Is the Winchester XPR LH 6.5 PRC 24 in Bolt Action Rifle suitable for left-handed shooters?
Yes, absolutely. This rifle has a dedicated left-hand bolt and left-hand ejection port. The bolt handle is on the left side, so you can cycle it without taking your firing hand off the grip. It’s one of the few left-hand bolt actions available in 6.5 PRC at this price point.
What kind of accuracy can I expect from this rifle?
With quality factory ammunition like Hornady ELD-X or Federal Premium, most shooters report sub-MOA three-shot groups at 100 yards. The free-floating barrel and adjustable trigger help a lot. Some users get 0.75 MOA with handloads.
Does this rifle come with a scope?
No, the rifle is sold without optics. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope bases (standard Winchester XPR pattern), so you’ll need to add your own rings and scope. Many shooters pair it with a 3-15x or 4-16x scope for long-range hunting.
What is the magazine capacity?
The detachable single-stack box magazine holds 3 rounds of 6.5 PRC, plus 1 in the chamber for a total capacity of 4 rounds. It’s a standard polymer magazine with steel feed lips.
Can I use this rifle for elk hunting?
Yes, the 6.5 PRC is more than adequate for elk at reasonable ranges. With a 140-grain or 143-grain bullet, you get 2,200+ ft-lbs of energy out to 400 yards. It’s a proven elk cartridge in the field.
