Winchester Repeating Arms has announced that it will now offer its SXP pump shotgun in 20-gauge models. The popular SXP line, which already carries close to 20 variants, is expanding again.

The 20-gauge Super X Pump shotguns will be built on a smaller and lighter 20-gauge-specific receiver. Four oversize rotary bolt lugs will provide support, strength and a solid lock-up to the barrel. A hard chrome chamber and bore make surfaces highly resistant to wear and corrosion, while the Inflex Technology recoil pad reduces felt recoil.

The SXP Field 20 gauge and SXP Field Compact 20 gauge will feature a satin finished stock and forearm with an alloy receiver in matte black finish. The SXP Field 20 gauge will be offered with 26" or 28" barrel lengths and the SXP Field Compact will be offered with 24", 26" and 28" barrel lengths. The MSRP for both models will be $429.99.

The new SXP Black Shadow 20 gauge will feature a synthetic stock and forearm with textured gripping surfaces in black matte finish in 26" and 28" barrel lengths. It carries a suggested retail price of $399.99.

Review: Winchester 400 Legend

Winchester’s new 400 Legend is a streamlined, mid-sized straight-wall cartridge intended to fill the gap between its wildly popular 350 Legend and the notorious 450 Bushmaster. It is—in our opinion—a masterstroke of genius.
