Description
Duck guns take a beating. They ride in boats, get dunked in the marsh, and sit in flooded timber while the weather does its worst. The SXP Waterfowl Hunter was built with all of that in mind. The chamber and bore are hard chrome plated to fight off corrosion, the receiver is lightweight aluminum alloy, and the entire gun wears full coverage Mossy Oak Shadow Grass Habitat camo from buttstock to muzzle so it disappears into cattails and cut cornfields alike.
Why the SXP Pumps Faster Than You'd Expect
The SXP earned its reputation on speed. Its four-lug rotary bolt locks up tight against the barrel, and the inertia-assisted slide design means the action practically opens itself the moment you fire. Follow-up shots come quick and natural, which matters a lot when a second bird is peeling off the spread. The 3.5" chamber gives you room to run everything from light 2.75" practice loads to the stoutest goose ammo, and the Inflex recoil pad takes real bite out of those magnum shells.
Set Up for the Blind Right Out of the Box
Winchester didn't leave much for you to add. The 26" barrel carries a TRUGLO fiber optic front sight that glows in low dawn light, and the Invector-Plus choke system ships with Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder tubes to cover everything from feet-down decoy work to late-season pass shooting. Sling swivel studs are already installed, so attaching a sling for the walk in is a five-minute job. Capacity is 4+1, and the synthetic stock won't swell or crack no matter how many wet mornings it sees.
Winchester SXP Waterfowl Hunter, the Working Man's Duck Gun
At right around seven pounds, this shotgun swings smoothly but won't wear you out on a long hike to the blind. It's a straightforward, dependable pump that runs when it's cold, wet, and muddy, which is exactly when you need it most. For waterfowlers who want a hardworking gun without babying it, the SXP Waterfowl Hunter is tough to beat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Winchester SXP Waterfowl Hunter shoot 2.75" and 3" shells?
Yes. The 3.5" chamber on this model handles 2.75", 3", and 3.5" shells interchangeably. That flexibility lets you practice with lighter target loads and then step up to heavy steel or bismuth waterfowl loads when the season opens.
What choke tubes come with the SXP Waterfowl Hunter?
It ships with three flush-fit Invector-Plus choke tubes: Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder. That trio covers close decoy work through longer pass shooting. Since it uses the Invector-Plus system, aftermarket waterfowl chokes are widely available if you want to fine-tune your patterns.
Is the SXP Waterfowl Hunter a good gun for wet, muddy hunting conditions?
That's exactly what it was designed for. The chamber and bore are hard chrome plated to resist corrosion, the stock is synthetic so moisture won't affect it, and the full coverage Mossy Oak Shadow Grass Habitat camo protects the metalwork while keeping you hidden. Give it a basic wipe-down after wet hunts and it will keep running season after season.
How fast is the SXP's pump action really?
The SXP uses an inertia-assisted slide with a rotary bolt, so recoil helps start the action rearward the instant you fire. Winchester has demonstrated three shots in about half a second with this design. In practical terms, follow-up shots feel almost effortless compared to most traditional pumps.
