WINCHESTER XPERT rimfire rifles

Stumbled across this. I wasn't aware that Winchester had released a new series of rimfire rifles.
https://www.winchesteraustralia.com.au/ ... er_page=48 but at ~$900 for a 17WSM - that's an attractive offering
Looks a little plasticky https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bA07gLECQSs - interesting quote from the reviewer "that's actually a nice trigger"
The helix? Ruger style magazines looks interesting.
I'm going to be watching with interest how these rifles are received in Australia.
cheers

I have one in 22LR. Such a great little rifle !! Yeah it is a polymer stock but doesn't really feel plastic & its very sturdy !! Pic rail for bipods is great. Trigger is light & crisp with no creep. Magazine feeds flawlessly & the bolt is such a short, fast & smooth throw.

Savage A22R Pro Varmint - .22

How’s the Xpert holding up?
I might be after a cheapish 22 for around the farm.

Not real keen on the stock though.
