Winchester SXP Extreme Defender

[Sbarkowski]

Ok, who's getting them in stock?? Sign me up. I was hoping Winchester was going to go this way with the defender. I've been waiting since they first came out. Hopefully this means more accessories will be coming out for the SXP!

Ooooo I like those... MSRP is fairly reasonable too.

Should be a bit less in stores. Grouse river in BC has them for $499 in black. I'd like to deal with someone a bit closer though.

I was also pleased the see Winchester's new offerings. I'm more of a traditionalist, so the standard SXP Marine Defender is what caught my eye, and I was really pleased that they went with threaded chokes --- it just makes the shotgun a little more flexible for part-time hunting. In one of the videos, a Winchester rep said that it would come in a camp combo with a longer barrel --- I don't see that on Winchester's site, so I think he may have misspoken. The only thing holding me back, and it's very minor, is the "Made in Turkey" --- I know the current generation Winchester's have been getting great reviews for build quality, but I wish they were still made in America... just a personal preference.

The new ones have choke tubes?? That's good news. I'm not sure if those pistol grip stocks are adjustable or not though.

Would look much nicer if the magazine tube was flush with the barrel.

"camp combo with a longer barrel" is available but somewhat hard to get.. I have one

Would look even better if the reciever and bolt were marine coated as well. Looks dumb

Won't happen - made in Turkey - 5 in the tube limit.

Hatsan Escort Aimguard 7+1 is from turkey

Imported to Canada.
Winchester shotguns are imported to the USA first and then distributed to the retailers.
American import laws are forcing Winchester to go with 5 shells capacity.
Quite a difference.

I love Winchester Defenders...but I don't love this. I'd rather a Defender threaded for chokes. My 2 cents.

I like the plain SXP Defender. The stock, pistol grip and choke on these new models don't look right.

Simple and efficient design:
