Versatile and Tough are the words used to describe the Winchester SXP shotgun and the Defender model is no exception. This isn't just another home defense shotgun, this is the last one you buy. Designed with an 18" steel barrel which has been threaded to accept Invector plus chokes provides you with unrivaled versatility especially in the defensive tactical pump action shotgun class. The chrome plated chamber and bore makes clean up a snap and the drilled and tapped aluminum receiver can be used to mount an optic if you desire. A traditional brass bead front sight offers a simple but effective sight picture which shotgun shooters have been using effectively for decades. The composite stock and forend keep the overall weight down and the combination of woodland camo and flat dark earth offers a unique look that can even help you blend into your surroundings if you're out in the field.
