2026 SHOT Show Special – Defender pump shotgun with full coverage Forged Carbon finish. Uses interchangeable Invector-Plus chokes. Chrome-plated bore and chamber...

The SXP Defender is designed to be a compact pump-action shotgun with a tough and good looking finish that you can toss in with your gear each time you go offroad, camping, fishing, or just off the grid to get away from it all. Built to use interchangeable Invector-Plus chokes, you can get excellent patterns for taking small game or pick up some accessory tubes for buckshot or slugs for protection against bears.

The Winchester SXP is based upon proven Winchester designs that have evolved over half a century. It also happens to possess record setting speed. The unique rotary bolt action design allows the action to be pumped with virtually no hesitation after you shoot, so follow-ups are fast and intuitive. 

A chrome-plated bore and chamber resist corrosion and make cleaning easier. A rigid pair of action bars ensure that the SXP will always cycle smooth and do it fast.
