In 2021, Winchester modernized its SXR Vulcan semi-automatics and reintroduced them as the SXR2 in two versions: Field, with a walnut wood finish, and Composite, with a synthetic stock and handguard. The SXR2 retains key features from the original model, such as the aluminum frame, a trigger set for hunting at approximately 3.1 lbs, and a red locking indicator in the ejection window for silent operation. The SXR2 features a metal tilting magazine with a red synthetic elevator plate and a slide catch on the right side of the frame for quick chamber loading. Both versions boast improved ergonomics with ambidextrous stocks, newly designed grips, and an enhanced palm swell for better handling. The seven-lug bolt locking system ensures secure ammunition locking and excellent shot accuracy, capable of handling magnum cartridges. The gas auto-loading system guarantees reliable operation with all rounds, while the Inflex II recoil pad reduces recoil for greater shooting comfort. The enlarged cocking handle allows for easy operation, even with gloves. New ultrabright LPA-type fiber optic sights provide faster and more accurate aiming, making the SXR2 a reliable, comfortable, and precise choice for hunters.
