The Winchester SXP Hybrid Hunter 20 Gauge delivers reliable pump-action performance with modern hunting features designed for waterfowl and upland game. This shotgun combines Winchester's proven Super X Pump action with TrueTimber VSX camouflage and precision sighting systems.
What Makes This Different
The SXP Hybrid Hunter features Winchester's back-bored barrel technology that reduces pellet deformation and improves pattern density compared to standard barrels. The inertia-assisted action cycles faster than traditional pump mechanisms, enabling quicker follow-up shots. TruGlo fiber optic sights provide enhanced target acquisition in low-light conditions where standard bead sights fail.
Key Features
- 20 gauge 3-inch chamber handles both 2.75" and 3" shells for versatility
- 26-inch back-bored barrel with hard chrome chamber and bore
- 4+1 capacity with drop-out trigger group for easy cleaning
- TrueTimber VSX camouflage stock and forearm with textured gripping surfaces
- Three Invector-Plus choke tubes included (Full, Modified, Improved Cylinder)
- TruGlo fiber optic front sight with brass bead mid-sight
- Aluminum alloy receiver with matte gray Perma-Cote finish
Field testing shows consistent cycling with loads from light 7/8 ounce target rounds to heavy 1.25 ounce waterfowl loads. The 20 gauge platform reduces felt recoil compared to 12 gauge alternatives while maintaining effective range for most hunting scenarios. Weather-resistant finishes protect against moisture and corrosion during extended outdoor use.
