The Winchester SXP Defender is a pump-action 12-gauge shotgun configured with an 18-inch barrel, a Flat Dark Earth Perma-Cote finish, and a Woodland camo composite stock. It accepts 3″ shells and uses the Invector-Plus choke system with a factory cylinder choke installed. The receiver is drilled and tapped to accept optics, and the shotgun includes a removable TruGlo fiber-optic front sight and an Inflex Technology recoil pad.
