Hi David and welcome. You may hear yes from some and no from others, so I would get the skinny directly from the horses' mouth directly with Winchester Customer Service at 800-333-3288. Cheers, stay safe and enjoy!

Yes sir, they have resolved the issue with the trigger. Upon inspection of the firearm you could enter the serial number to verify this applies to the one you are buying, giving you some additional peace of mind, here: winchesterguns.com/support/current-recalls-and-safety-announcements/winchester-xpr-recall.html Happy shooting!

Yes, Winchester resolved the issues with the XPR's trigger assembly, but it is critical to ensure that any XPR you buy has been retrofitted.
Trigger recall for early XPR models
The issue: In 2015, Winchester issued a recall for all XPR rifles because a defect in the trigger assembly could cause an unintended discharge. The problem occurred because manipulating the safety could cause movement in the trigger system, potentially causing the rifle to fire.
The solution: Winchester required all XPR owners to send their rifles to a service facility for a free trigger group parts retrofit. This addressed the safety issue without affecting the rifle's overall performance.
How to check: If you own or are considering buying an XPR, you can check its serial number on Winchester's official recall website to see if it has been retrofitted.

Good morning to you!! Yes, Winchester resolved the issues with the trigger assembly on the XPR series of rifles, including the Sporter model. The original trigger problem resulted in a recall of all XPR rifles sold prior to December 2015.
Here is what you need to know:
The initial problem: A 2015 Winchester recall was issued for a safety defect where a manipulation of the safety switch could cause movement in the trigger system, potentially resulting in an unintended firing.
The fix: Winchester retrofitted the trigger group on all recalled rifles free of charge.
Current production models: All newly manufactured XPR rifles, including those chambered in .350 Legend, come with the upgraded trigger assembly and are not subject to the original recall. Hope this helps. Have a good rest of your day.

Hi David, as far as I can tell, the answer is no. Users frequently report the safety mechanism being either excessively stiff or unexpectedly loose. Variability in trigger pull weight is another notable concern. Users suggest that with some tinkering, the factory trigger can perform adequately for hunting purposes, but it may not satisfy those looking for a precision target trigger.
In summary, while the trigger assembly issues have not been fully resolved, the rifle remains a popular choice among hunters for its overall performance.
Stay safe & have a great day!
