Product Overview
The Winchester SXP Turkey 12 Gauge pump action shotgun is purpose-built for the rigorous demands of turkey hunting. Engineered for reliability and precision patterning, this shotgun integrates robust construction with critical features necessary for effective deployment in the field. Its design prioritizes quick target acquisition and the ability to deliver dense, consistent patterns with modern turkey loads, including 3.5-inch magnum shells.
Key Features
Inertia-Assisted Pump Action
The SXP Turkey utilizes Winchester’s inertia-assisted pump action, facilitating rapid and smooth cycling of shells. This system employs a rotary bolt for secure lock-up, ensuring consistent firing performance and minimizing shooter fatigue during follow-up shots. The action’s design is engineered for operational reliability under diverse environmental conditions.
3.5-Inch Chamber Capability
Equipped with a 3.5-inch chamber, this shotgun accommodates the most potent turkey loads available, significantly extending effective range and terminal performance. This capability ensures the hunter can leverage heavy payloads of shot for maximum pattern density and energy transfer at critical distances.
Optimized Barrel and Choke System
The 24-inch barrel provides a balance of maneuverability within blinds and timber while maintaining the necessary length for optimal pattern formation with specialized turkey chokes. The shotgun is configured with Winchester’s Invector-Plus choke system, typically including an extended extra-full turkey choke, designed to deliver exceptionally tight and consistent patterns required for precision turkey hunting.
Concealment and Durability
The SXP Turkey model features a durable synthetic stock and forearm, resistant to the elements encountered in varied hunting environments. The exterior is finished with a camouflage pattern (e.g., Mossy Oak Break-Up Country or Obsession), engineered to provide superior concealment in typical turkey habitats, minimizing detection by wary game.
Precision Sighting System
To facilitate precise shot placement at range, the SXP Turkey is outfitted with a specialized sighting system. This commonly includes an adjustable rear sight paired with a fiber-optic front sight, or a cantilever scope rail for mounting optical aiming devices, allowing for precise point-of-impact adjustments.
