Quail, grouse, dove and pheasant call for a gun that swings fast and does not wear you out. The Winchester SX4 Upland Field is a 20 gauge semi-automatic with a 28-inch barrel, a walnut stock and a nickel receiver. It weighs 6.8 pounds, which is light enough for a long afternoon walking field edges.

The nickel finish looks sharp against the walnut and also resists wear from hands and brush. A semi-auto softens recoil in the 20 gauge, which is already gentle, so younger and smaller shooters can handle it. Capacity is listed at 3 rounds, which meets most hunting rules.

The 28-inch barrel carries a smooth swing, and the walnut stock gives the gun a classic feel. Winchester describes the SX4 Upland Field as a shotgun for hunters who want precision and performance, and the finish makes it a handsome piece for the price. It also works for clay targets and sporting clays on weekends. Think about where it will live and how you will store it safely at home.

This shotgun is new. It ships to a North Carolina FFL dealer for the background check and transfer.
