Winchester Repeating Arms 512296394 3" Wood Stock Pump-Action Shotgun

The Winchester Repeating Arms SXP Trap Full Size 12 Gauge Pump is a purpose-built shotgun designed for competitive trap shooting and serious clay target enthusiasts. This pump-action platform delivers the speed and reliability demanded by trap competitors who require consistent shot placement over extended shooting sessions. Winchester engineered the SXP specifically for trap applications, combining proven gas-operated mechanics with a 32-inch ventilated rib barrel optimized for sight picture and shot consistency at 40+ yard distances.

This 3-inch chambered shotgun accepts both 3-inch and 2.75-inch shells, providing flexibility in ammunition selection and cost management during practice and competition. The 32-inch matte black ventilated rib barrel features an Improved Cylinder choke, a choice that balances pattern density with target breakability—essential for trap where birds are rising targets at moderate to long ranges. The matte black aluminum alloy receiver resists corrosion and glare while keeping overall weight at just 6 pounds, reducing shooter fatigue during high-volume clay target sessions. The satin hardwood stock delivers traditional aesthetics with proven ergonomics; the 12.25-inch length of pull suits most adult shooters and accommodates standard shooting clothing without adjustment. Right-hand configuration supports the majority of shooters with intuitive control placement.

Trap shooters and clay target competitors will appreciate the SXP's pump-action reliability and low recoil management—key factors in maintaining accuracy across multiple rounds of competition. The ventilated rib aids sight alignment and reduces mirage distortion on warm days, critical when calling the bird's break is your job. This Winchester model pairs well with standard trap loads (1 1/8 oz shot, 2.75" preferred) and integrates seamlessly into any trap program or casual clays operation. Proper maintenance of the gas system and periodic cleaning of the bore ensures consistent performance and extends the service life of this competition-grade platform.
