Two rounds, no more. The Winchester SXR2 is a double-rifle-style hunting arm in 9.3x62 Mauser with a 22 inch barrel and a black finish. It is new. For the hunter after a driven boar, a big deer or a moose, a handy rifle with a heavy-for-caliber bullet is a sensible choice.

The 9.3x62 is a European cartridge that has been used for decades on large game. It sends a heavy bullet at moderate velocity, which means deep penetration and plenty of shock on heavy bone. Recoil is noticeable, but it is a push, and with a good pad most shooters handle it fine. Take it out to the bench before you rely on it: cycle the action a dozen times, dry fire it, and look down the bore with a bright light.

A two-shot capacity favors careful hunting and shot placement over volume, and it keeps the rifle light and short on the shoulder.

Matching an optic to a rifle like this takes some thought. A low-power scope or a red dot will keep your head up in thick cover.

It ships to your FFL dealer, and the background check is completed there.
