The Winchester SX4 Waterfowl Hunter represents a significant evolution over its predecessor, the SX3. This semi-automatic shotgun is engineered with improved ergonomics, making it both slimmer and lighter. Its slightly forward balance point ensures fluid swinging and follow-through—critical attributes for any serious waterfowler.
Designed for rapid target acquisition and safe handling, the SX4 features larger operating controls: an enlarged safety, bolt handle, and bolt release. The trigger guard has also been expanded to facilitate quick engagement under pressure.
A standout feature of this model is the Inflex Technology recoil pad which strategically deflects energy away from your face. This not only enhances comfort but allows for quicker follow-up shots—a vital advantage when hunting fast-moving birds across various landscapes.
The Active Valve System sets the SX4 apart by automatically adjusting gas pressures to accommodate different loads seamlessly. Whether you're firing light or heavy magnum shells, gases are vented through Quadra-Vent ports in the forearm to regulate bolt speed effectively.
This shotgun employs Winchester's proven Invector-Plus interchangeable choke tube system paired with a back-bored barrel. Together they minimize shot deformation while ensuring uniform patterns necessary for long-range accuracy against diverse species of waterfowl.
Equipped with a TRUGLO fiber-optic front sight, shooters can rely on precise sight alignment across varying lighting conditions—a crucial element when dawn breaks or dusk descends upon wetlands teeming with game.
