TFL Review Summary
This shotgun is a workhorse that has so much to like. We not only have reviewed the Winchester SX4 but have shot 10's of thousands of rounds through it over the years. The SX4 is one of the lightest recoiling shotguns. It has decent controls and it is extremely reliable. The only nock we have on the SX4 is the fact that it does not have shims to adjust the drop and cast to better-fit shooters.
Manufacturer Summary
SX4 - The next level of performance. This Super X4 follows on the heels of the most successful Winchester autoloader ever: the Super X3 Black Shadow. There would be no point to the new SX4 if it did not take function, handling and ergonomics to the next level. And it does. This is a dedicated hunting machine with it's all-black exterior that is definitely non-glare to prevent spooking game. Critical functional controls are larger and easier to operate -- a real benefit in damp weather and cold conditions.
The feel is right. You will need to go to your dealer to prove this to yourself, but the grip area has been totally redesigned for improved comfort and pointability. It feels thinner and it feels right. The same goes for the forearm. Both have gripping panels positioned to help prevent slipping and the texture feels good against your hands especially when you are not wearing gloves.
Function sets it apart. The list of features designed to improve your shooting is impressive.
Hybrid - The durable black composite stock is now paired with a tough Cerakote finish on the receiver and barrel. It looks tough and it is. The SX4 is built on the bulletproof Active Valve System. Everything is made to work and last. It has a solid operating mechanism, improved balance, larger controls, and ultra-durable internal operating components. Ask any SX4 owner for what they think. It works and works hard.
