Key Features
- Back-Bored Barrel – Reduces felt recoil and helps produce denser, more consistent patterns. That means better hits on a gobbler at 30 yards.
- TruGlo Fiber-Optic Sights – Adjustable for windage and elevation, these bright dots help young or new shooters acquire the target quickly in low-light woods.
- Textured Synthetic Stock – Molded grip panels keep your hands locked on the gun even in rain or when wearing gloves. No slipping when it counts.
- Invector-Plus Extra-Full Turkey Choke – Ships with a dedicated turkey choke that throws tight, dense patterns at typical turkey hunting distances (20-40 yards).
- Super X Pump Action – The same smooth, reliable pump system that’s been trusted for decades. Fast cycling for quick follow-up shots when a tom is on the move.
Who It’s For
This shotgun is ideal for families introducing youth or smaller-framed shooters to turkey hunting. The 20-gauge recoil is manageable, the 24-inch barrel swings easily in tight cover, and the adjustable sights let you dial in the point of impact without a gunsmith. It also suits experienced hunters who want a lighter backup gun or a dedicated turkey rig they can carry all day.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Lightweight (about 6.5 lbs), very affordable for a dedicated turkey gun, TruGlo sights are bright and adjustable, back-bored barrel reduces felt recoil, includes a quality extra-full choke.
- Cons: The fixed synthetic stock does not allow for length-of-pull adjustment, so smaller shooters may need a youth model or aftermarket spacer. The 3-inch chamber limits you to 2.75- or 3-inch shells (no 3.5-inch magnums), but that’s standard for 20-gauge turkey guns.

The Winchester SXP Turkey offers the longest barrel (24 inches) among these three, which helps with swing and sight radius, plus adjustable TruGlo sights that the Mossberg 500 Turkey lacks. The Remington 870 Turkey has rifle-style adjustable sights but weighs about the same and costs more. For the price, the Winchester gives you the most sight adjustability and a proven pump action.
Frequently Asked Questions
What shells can I use in the Winchester SXP Turkey 20ga?
It chambers 2.75-inch and 3-inch 20-gauge shells. Stick with 3-inch magnums for turkey loads to get the best pattern density at longer ranges.
Is this shotgun good for a youth or first-time turkey hunter?
Yes. The 20-gauge recoil is mild, the 24-inch barrel is easy to swing, and the adjustable TruGlo sights help a new shooter line up quickly. Just check the length of pull—if the shooter is smaller, you may need a youth stock or a spacer kit.
Does it come with a turkey choke?
Yes. It ships with an Invector-Plus extra-full turkey choke that’s designed to throw tight patterns for turkey hunting. You can swap it for other Invector-Plus chokes if needed.
Can I mount a red dot or scope on this shotgun?
The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope bases, but the factory TruGlo sights are already adjustable. If you prefer a red dot, you’ll need a rail and see-through rings, or remove the rear sight. Many hunters find the fiber-optic sights sufficient for turkey hunting.
Is the stock adjustable for length of pull?
No, the stock is a fixed synthetic. You can add a recoil pad spacer or replace the stock with an aftermarket adjustable version if needed.
