Winchester SX4 Field Compact 28" 12ga Shotgun 3" Semi-Auto Satin - 511211392

The Winchester SX4 Field Compact is a 12-gauge semi-automatic shotgun built for hunters and sport shooters who value a trim, responsive gun that doesn't sacrifice reliability or performance. With a 28-inch barrel, 3-inch chamber, and a compact 13-inch length of pull, this semi-auto is purpose-built for smaller-statured shooters and anyone who prefers a faster-handling shotgun in the field. Whether you're working upland birds, taking shots in tight cover, or running drills at the range, the SX4 Compact delivers Winchester's proven Active Valve System and back-bored technology in a package that's easy to carry and quick to mount.

Winchester engineered the SX4 Field Compact to reduce both weight and recoil without compromising durability. The lightweight aluminum alloy receiver wears a matte-black finish, while the satin-oil walnut stock with classic cut checkering delivers timeless aesthetics and solid handling. A ventilated rib provides a clean sighting plane, and the TRUGLO Long Bead fiber-optic front sight gives you a bright, precise sight picture in variable light. Hard chrome plating on the chamber and bore resists wear and corrosion, and an Inflex Technology recoil pad angles recoil down and away from your cheek—a real comfort feature if you're shooting all day.

The gun cycles a wide variety of 12-gauge loads via the Active Valve System, and Invector-Plus choke tubes let you dial in the shot pattern you need. The ambidextrous crossbolt safety is reversible for either-hand operation, while a larger bolt handle and release button make field operation faster and less fussy. A drop-out trigger group keeps cleaning straightforward. At 7 pounds, the SX4 Field Compact stays light enough to hunt all day without fatigue.
