Description
Plenty of pump guns will get the job done in the field. Not many look this good doing it. The Winchester SXP High Grade Field takes the proven Super X Pump platform and gives it the wood-and-blued-steel treatment, with high grade Turkish walnut furniture wearing a satin varnish finish and an aluminum alloy receiver decorated with an engraved upland game scene. It has the kind of classic look that gets noticed at the truck tailgate, backed by an action known for being one of the quickest-cycling pumps you can buy.
A 20 Gauge Field Gun That Carries Its Weight
The 26-inch ventilated rib barrel is back-bored for more consistent patterns and finished in gloss blue, with a chrome-plated chamber and bore that shrugs off wear and cleans up fast after a wet morning. The 3-inch chamber handles everything from light target loads to stouter hunting shells, and the tube holds 5+1 with 2.75-inch loads. In 20 gauge trim the SXP stays light and lively, which matters a lot more than spec-sheet bragging rights when you are covering miles of pheasant cover or swinging on a dove that just changed gears.
Winchester SXP High Grade Details That Earn Their Keep
Three flush Invector-Plus choke tubes come in the box, Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder, so you can set the gun up for close-flushing quail or longer passing shots without buying anything extra. Up front, a TruGlo fiber-optic sight grabs light and pulls your eye down the rib in dim timber or bright open fields. An Inflex recoil pad takes the sting out of a long day of shooting, and the reversible crossbolt safety is a nice touch for left-handed hunters. The rotary bolt locks up tight with four lugs, and the inertia-assisted slide is why SXP owners tend to rave about how smooth and fast the action runs.
For the hunter who wants a working pump gun with real wood and real character, this one checks every box and still earns its spot in the field, not just the safe.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Winchester SXP High Grade Field shoot 3-inch shells?
Yes. It has a 3-inch chamber, so it runs both 2.75-inch and 3-inch 20 gauge loads. Capacity is 5+1 with 2.75-inch shells, and you will lose one round in the magazine when running the longer 3-inch stuff.
What choke tubes come with the SXP High Grade Field, and can I add more?
It ships with three flush Invector-Plus tubes: Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder. That covers most upland and waterfowl situations right out of the box. Since it uses the widely available Invector-Plus system, aftermarket tubes for turkey, skeet, or extended waterfowl patterns are easy to find.
Is this gun friendly for left-handed hunters?
Mostly, yes. The crossbolt safety is reversible, so it can be switched over for left-handed use. Ejection is still out the right side of the receiver, but that rarely bothers lefties in practice with a pump gun.
How does the High Grade Field differ from the standard Winchester SXP Field?
The action and barrel technology are the same proven SXP setup, including the back-bored barrel, chrome-lined chamber and bore, and Invector-Plus chokes. The High Grade adds upgraded Turkish walnut with a satin varnish, a gloss blued finish, and an engraved upland game scene on the receiver. Think of it as the dressed-up version of a workhorse pump.
