Building on the renowned SX3 shotgun platform, the engineers at Winchester Repeating Arms have brought out an even better scattergun with the new SX4 Waterfowl Hunter. With a 26-inch barrel, the 12-gauge shotgun has an aluminum alloy receiver, a chrome plated chamber and bore, a composite stock and forend, features aimed at helping this shotgun be faster cycling and a sweet-shooting machine out in the field. With Back-Bored Technology to ensure dense, even patterns along with a smaller pistol grip and textured gripping surfaces, the shotgun also has a larger cocking handle and bolt release along with a reversible safety. Add in a larger opening in the trigger guard and the result is easier operation, even in cold conditions while duck and goose hunters are using gloves. Finally, the inclusion of three Invector-Plus choke tubes, a TRUGLO fiber-optic sight and an Inflex Technology recoil pad should all help make this yet another winning entry from the gun makers at Winchester.
