Key Features
Purpose-Built Performance
Chambered for 12 Gauge, this SXP variant supports up to 3.5-inch magnum shells, optimizing terminal ballistics for turkey hunting.

This design enables the user to maintain target acquisition and execute follow-up shots with enhanced efficiency, critical in dynamic hunting scenarios. The rotary bolt ensures robust lock-up and consistent operation.

The synthetic stock and forend are designed for a secure grip and ergonomic handling, even in adverse weather conditions.
