In the world of firearms, a pump-action shotgun that marries tradition with modern craftsmanship is a rarity. The SXP Upland Field by Winchester does precisely that. This piece harks back to the iconic Model 12 days when shotguns were not just tools but works of art passed down through generations.
The heart of this firearm lies in its aluminum alloy receiver, adorned with an engraved upland game scene and finished in matte nickel. This combination offers both durability and elegance, ensuring it remains as striking as it is functional for years to come.
The barrel, crafted from steel and finished in matte blued color, features a chrome-plated chamber and bore – a testament to superior engineering aimed at enhancing longevity and performance. A ventilated rib runs along its length, aiding heat dissipation during rapid firing sequences.
This model accommodates both 12-gauge shells within its robust 3-inch chamber. Operating on reliable pump-action mechanics ensures smooth cycling under various conditions—whether you're navigating dense brush or open fields.
Attention has been paid to user comfort too; the stock made from Grade II/III Turkish Walnut boasts a satin varnish finish that complements the overall aesthetic while providing ergonomic handling courtesy of laser checkering at 18 lines per inch (LPI). The Inflex Technology recoil pad significantly reduces felt recoil—a feature much appreciated after extended sessions on range or field hunts alike.
Aiding accuracy is the TRUGLO® fiber-optic sight paired seamlessly with three Invector-Plus choke tubes—Full Modified Improved Cylinder—for adaptability across varying shooting scenarios without compromising precision shots each time you pull trigger materialized using high-grade steel encased within composite guard framing itself against elements encountered outdoors regularly faced therein!
