The first is a LH Waterfowl 28\"/3.5\" model I bought at Bismarck Scheels couple years ago (I'm LH but started shooting shotguns in the 60's before LH models existed so I shoot RH models equally well) that has proven deadly on western ND roosters. I was in Bismarck yesterday (08-20-25) and as usual stopped in Scheels. They had the black synthetic SX4s on sale and as my dad used to say \"it was such a good deal I couldn't afford not to buy it\". IMO SX4s are hands down the best value available in a semi auto shotgun. They are utterly reliable, cycle anything you want to put in them, are easy to take down for cleaning, and with the stock shims, LOP can be adjusted to fit just about anyone (LOP with the recoil pad and no shims is 14\" which fits me perfectly). the 26\"/3\" models like this one are well under 7 lbs so are equally at home out here in western ND where we primarily hunt upland as well as in central/eastern ND after waterfowl. You can't go wrong with Scheels or the SX4...","textLength":1056,"csFlag":false,"inappropriateFlag":false,"reviewedFlag":true,"autoModerated":true,"published":true,"incentivized":false,"upVotes":1,"downVotes":0,"orderId":null,"dimensions":[{"type":1,"dimensionId":3,"dimensionLabel":"Value","id":11,"code":"VAL05","label":null,"value":5},{"type":1,"dimensionId":4,"dimensionLabel":"Durability","id":16,"code":"DUR05","label":null,"value":5},{"type":1,"dimensionId":5,"dimensionLabel":"Quality","id":21,"code":"QUAL5","label":null,"value":5}],"responses":[],"tags":[],"media":{"photo":[],"video":[],"audio":[]},"user":{"badge":null},"reviewedDate":"2025-08-21T18:37:40-04:00","purchaseDate":null,"dateCreated":"2025-08-21T17:56:54-04:00","customData":[],"incentiveType":null,"campaign":null,"deviceFingerprint":null,"topics":[],"catalogItems":[{"sku":"48702-511205291","title":"Winchester SX4 12 Gauge Semi-Auto Shotgun","url":"https://www.scheels.com/p/48702-511205291","category":"semi-automatic-shotguns","reviewCount":4,"ratingCount":4,"averageRating":5,"ratingBreakdown":{"1":0,"2":0,"3":0,"4":0,"5":4},"active":true,"attributes":[]}]},{"id":6607491,"locale":"en_US","rating":5,"title":null,"text":"great shotgun.","textLength":14,"csFlag":false,"inappropriateFlag":false,"reviewedFlag":true,"autoModerated":true,"published":true,"incentivized":false,"upVotes":0,"downVotes":0,"orderId":"143309831","dimensions":[{"type":1,"dimensionId":3,"dimensionLabel":"Value","id":11,"code":"VAL05","label":null,"value":5},{"type":1,"dimensionId":4,"dimensionLabel":"Durability","id":16,"code":"DUR05","label":null,"value":5},{"type":1,"dimensionId":5,"dimensionLabel":"Quality","id":21,"code":"QUAL5","label":null,"value":5}],"responses":[],"tags":[],"media":{"photo":[],"video":[],"audio":[]},"user":{"badge":null},"reviewedDate":"2025-05-18T12:06:52-04:00","purchaseDate":"2025-05-15T00:00:00-04:00","dateCreated":"2025-05-18T00:22:48-04:00","customData":[],"incentiveType":null,"campaign":null,"deviceFingerprint":null,"topics":[],"catalogItems":[{"sku":"48702-511205291","title":"Winchester SX4 12 Gauge Semi-Auto Shotgun","url":"https://www.scheels.com/p/48702-511205291","category":"semi-automatic-shotguns","reviewCount":4,"ratingCount":4,"averageRating":5,"ratingBreakdown":{"1":0,"2":0,"3":0,"4":0,"5":4},"active":true,"attributes":[]}]},{"id":1785886,"locale":"en_US","rating":5,"title":"Excellent Value!","text":"Purchased the Winchester SX4, then cleaned it up enough (according to owners manual) to fire at a range. Fired 2 & 3/4-inch trap loads (Fiocchi 1 & 1/8 ounce of # 7.5 at 1200 fps), 2 & 3/4-inch hunting loads (Winchester Supreme, 1 & 1/4 ounce of #6 at 1300 fps), 3-inch Steel BBB (Remington Nitro Steel), and 3-inch lead (Winchester XX, #2, 1 7/8 ounces). Fired three rounds of each type. The shotgun fired, ejected, and reloaded until empty with no failures. The recoil off the Winchester 3-inch Double XX loads was stout, to be polite, but these loads will kick on any shotgun! \nChecked the pattern with the modified Invector Plus choke tube using the Winchester Supreme #6s. The pattern was very uniform.\nTotally disassembled the shotgun for cleaning after the range test. Removed the plug, then replaced it. Completely cleaned all basic subassemblies and reassembled the shotgun. Disassembly and plug removal was easy. Reassembly was a little challenging. Replacing the plug was moderately challenging. I have reassembled shotguns that were much more difficult to reassemble. I have also worked on shotguns that were easier to reassemble. This Winchester in somewhere in the middle as far as ease vs. difficulty.\nFor me, the shotgun is intuitive to operate (not my first gas semiauto!), points naturally and provides easy followup shots.\nI'll be using this shotgun for late season pheasants when the weather is wet.\nMade in Portugal, not in the U.S.A., but the price was definitely right!

This semi-auto shotgun features a redesigned stock and pistol grip with improved ergonomics to enhance the feel of the gun. An Inflex Technology recoil pad disperses recoil down and away from the cheek to minimize shoulder fatigue, while stock spacers allow the length of pull to be adjusted. This Winchester shotgun is built with an Active Valve System that delivers smoother cycling and further reduces felt recoil. Quadra-Vent ports allow excess gas to escape the receiver to deliver cleaner firing and easier maintenance. The oversized bolt handle and release button on this 12-gauge shotgun offer easier manipulation of the chamber even with gloved hands. With a chrome-plated chamber and bore for added durability, the Winchester SX4 Shotgun provides dependability and precision along with improved handling and smooth performance.<br />\n\nFeatures:\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Drop-out trigger group makes maintenance easy\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Vent rib barrel provides&nbsp;a smooth clean sighting plane\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Quadra-Vent ports eject&nbsp;excess gases for cleaner firing\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Back-Bored Technology delivers dense and even patterning\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Active Valve System cycles smoothly and reduces felt recoil\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Improved ergonomic stock and pistol grip for a more secure hold\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Stock spacers allow adjustment of the length of pull for optimal feel\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Larger bolt handle and bolt release button offer easier manipulation\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Chrome-plated chamber and bore for added durability and corrosion-resistance\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Invector-Plus<sup>TM</sup> chokes offer consistent patterning in nearly any shooting situation\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Inflex Technology recoil pad displaces recoil away from the cheek to reduce fatigue.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\nSpecifications:\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Choke System: Invector-Plus Flush\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Stock Material: Composite\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Receiver Material: Aluminum alloy\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Chokes Included: Full, Modified, Improved Cylinder\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Front Sight: Fiber Optic\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Recoil Pad: Inflex 2\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Chamber Finish: Chrome Plated Chamber and Bore\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Drop at Heel: 2&quot;\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Length of Pull: 14 1/4&quot;\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Drop at Comb: 1 3/4&quot;\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Rib Width: 1/4&quot;\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n"
