Product Overview
The Winchester SXP Waterfowl 20 Gauge Pump Action Shotgun is purpose-built for the demanding environments encountered during waterfowl hunting. This model integrates essential design elements to ensure reliable operation and consistent performance under adverse conditions, providing a practical tool for the serious fowler.
Design & Construction
The SXP Waterfowl utilizes an aluminum alloy receiver, contributing to a reduced overall weight for improved carry and maneuverability in the field. The 28-inch barrel features a chrome-plated bore for corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning, a critical factor for use in wet, marshy habitats. A ventilated rib and fiber optic front sight facilitate rapid target acquisition and precise shot placement. The stock and forearm are constructed from durable composite material, finished in Mossy Oak Shadow Grass Habitat camouflage to optimize concealment. Texturing on the gripping surfaces ensures secure handling, even when wet.
Performance Characteristics
Operating on a robust pump action, the SXP is designed for rapid cycling and reliable ejection. The 3-inch chamber accommodates a wide range of 20 gauge ammunition, from light field loads to heavy waterfowl shells, offering versatility for varied game and conditions. The Invector-Plus choke tube system allows for pattern density adjustment, ensuring optimal shot dispersion for specific ranges and target types. An Inflex Technology recoil pad is integrated to mitigate felt recoil, allowing for more comfortable shooting during extended sessions.
