The Winchester SX4 Universal Hunter delivers reliable semi-automatic performance for waterfowl and upland game hunting. This 20-gauge shotgun features a 26-inch barrel with Mossy Oak DNA camouflage pattern that blends seamlessly into diverse hunting environments.
What Makes This Different
The SX4's Active Valve gas system cycles 2¾-inch and 3-inch shells without adjustment, eliminating the need to manually switch between loads. The Quadra-Vent ports reduce felt recoil by up to 50% compared to standard gas systems, allowing for faster follow-up shots. Winchester's Inflex Technology recoil pad further dampens kick while maintaining proper length of pull for consistent mounting.
Key Features
- Active Valve gas system automatically adjusts for 2¾" and 3" shells
- 26-inch barrel optimized for versatile hunting applications
- 4+1 capacity with reliable feeding mechanism
- Three Invector-Plus choke tubes included (Full, Modified, Improved Cylinder)
- Mossy Oak DNA camouflage covers entire gun for concealment
- Quadra-Vent ports reduce muzzle jump and felt recoil
- Drop-out trigger group simplifies cleaning and maintenance
Field performance centers on the SX4's ability to handle diverse loads without cycling issues. The 26-inch barrel provides optimal velocity for both close-range upland birds and longer waterfowl shots. Hunters report consistent ejection with everything from light 2¾-inch target loads to heavy 3-inch magnum shells. The synthetic stock resists weather damage during extended outdoor use.
