Slug gun hunters in straight-wall and shotgun-only country know the drill: you need real accuracy out of a 12 gauge, not a smoothbore with a bead. That is exactly what the Winchester SXP Extreme Deer Hunter delivers. The fully rifled 22 inch barrel is built to stabilize sabot slugs and shoot conventional rifled slugs well too, and with modern slug ammo being as good as it is, this gun can stretch your effective range further than a lot of folks expect from a pump.
The SXP action is the standout here. Winchester's inertia-assisted slide action uses recoil energy to start the forend moving rearward for you, which makes follow-up shots feel almost effortless. The four-lug rotary bolt locks up tight for strength and consistency, and it is the same basic action Winchester's exhibition pros have used to set speed records. In the field, that means if your first slug does not anchor the deer, your second one is on the way in a hurry.
The pistol grip synthetic stock gives you real control when shouldering from a seated position, and it takes some of the sting out of full-power slug loads along with the Inflex recoil pad. Two interchangeable comb pieces with height spacers let you dial in your cheek weld, whether you run the included TruGlo fiber optic front sight with adjustable rear or mount glass on the drilled and tapped aluminum alloy receiver. Full-coverage Mossy Oak Break-Up Country camo keeps the whole package hidden, and the chrome-plated chamber and bore shrug off wet weather and clean up easy.
You get a 3 inch chamber, a four-round magazine with 2-3/4 inch shells, a 43 inch overall length, and a carry weight right around 7 pounds. That is a handy, well-balanced package that points fast and rides comfortably on a sling all day. For the hunter who wants a purpose-built deer shotgun without the price tag of a dedicated slug rifle setup, this one checks every box.
You can chamber and fire them, but this barrel is fully rifled, so shot loads will pattern poorly as the rifling spins the shot column into a donut shape. This gun is purpose-built for sabot slugs and rifled slugs. If you want to run shot loads, a smoothbore SXP field model is the better tool.
Yes, the aluminum alloy receiver comes drilled and tapped for scope bases, so adding a low-power scope or red dot is straightforward. The two interchangeable comb pieces and height spacers let you raise the cheek weld to line up properly with optics, or keep it low for the factory TruGlo fiber optic sights.
Sabot slugs are where a rifled barrel really shines, and many hunters get rifle-like groups at 100 yards and beyond with quality sabot loads. Conventional rifled slugs will shoot fine too, though usually not as tight. Like any slug gun, it pays to test a few brands since individual barrels tend to favor certain loads.
The SXP uses an inertia-assisted slide action, meaning recoil energy helps kick the forend rearward the instant you fire, so the gun practically starts cycling itself. Winchester rates it capable of three shots in about half a second in trained hands. For a hunter, the practical benefit is a smooth, quick second shot without breaking your cheek weld.
