Built around Winchester’s inertia-assisted Super X Pump system, the Defender cycles smoothly and locks solidly thanks to a four-lug rotary bolt that engages the barrel extension.
The 18" steel barrel sports a chrome-plated bore and chamber for easier cleaning and improved corrosion resistance, and its fixed Cylinder choke provides wide, consistent patterns with both 2 ¾" and 3" shells.
A matte-black aluminum-alloy receiver keeps weight down and is drilled and tapped so optics or ghost-ring sights can be added without gunsmithing.
The black synthetic stock features an Inflex recoil pad, molded grip texturing, and front and rear sling-swivel studs; length of pull measures 13.75", offering a controllable fit for most shooters.
Manufactured in Turkey by Istanbul Silah under Winchester supervision, this SXP Defender (part no. 512252395) continues the Defender lineage at an MSRP of $389.99 while adding modern materials and user-focused upgrades.
