The rifle is built around a 20-inch round, polished blued steel barrel marked "Winchester Proof Steel," secured with a single barrel band. The two-piece blued receiver has a right-side ejection port and displays matching serial numbers on both receiver halves. Production is attributed to Winchester’s New Haven, Connecticut facility in 1988.
The XTR configuration brings high-polish blue metal and upgraded wood. The straight-grip walnut stock features cut checkering, a high-gloss finish, and a black hard buttplate. Length of pull measures 13.75 inches, providing a comfortable and traditional lever-gun fit.
This lever-action feeds from a tubular magazine that loads from the muzzle via a removable inner tube. Capacity is 15 rounds. The chambering is versatile, accepting .22 Short, .22 Long, and .22 Long Rifle interchangeably.
Sighting is straightforward and practical with iron sights: a hooded ramp front sight pairs with an adjustable semi-buckhorn rear mounted on an elevator ramp, offering a clear and classic sight picture for small-bore shooting.
