Winchester SXP Extreme Defender Forged Carbon 12Ga 18"

SHOT Show Special 2025 – Versatile pump shotgun featuring an aluminum receiver with a Gray Perma-Cote finish. Composite stock with Forged Carbon hydrodip finish. Chrome-plated chamber and bore. Inflex recoil pad. 

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 screw in the appropriate choke for the buckshot or slugs for protection against bears.

Winchester Defender shotguns are lightweight jacks-of-all-trades. The 18" barrel length with the cylinder choke tube makes it an ideal utility shotgun in camp, is maneuverable in tight brush and tucks neatly behind the seat of your truck. This Hybrid Defender has a style all its own with a durable Gray Perma-Cote finish on the barrel and receiver and Forged Carbon hydrodipped stock.

Built to use interchangeable Invector-Plus chokes, you can get excellent patterns for taking small game and birds from grouse to turkey. Screw in the appropriate choke for buckshot or slugs for hogs or deer.
