A slide-action shotgun that can do anything from target turkeys to take geese, the Super X Pump Universal Hunter, from Winchester Repeating Arms, is a do-it-all shotgun for the hunt-it-all birdhunter.
The Super X Pump Universal Hunter is wrapped in the DNA woods camo patter from Mossy Oak. The rugged composite stock and forearm are designed to feel slim in the hands, with textured gripping surfaces to improve grip in wet, cold conditions. The inertia-assisted Speed Pump action utilizes a pair of rigid action bars and offers reliability and record-setting cycling speed. A redesigned trigger group now features a reversible “safety” button to accommodate left-handed shooters, and a ramped trigger guard for easier loading.
The Super X Pump Universal Hunter is offered in 12-gauge, 3½- and 3-inch chamber models, and 20-gauge, 3-chamber models, all with the choice of a 24-, 26- or 28-inch ventilated rib barrel.
