This Field configuration pairs a plain 30-inch barrel with a fixed Full choke and a single front bead, a combination designed for consistent pointability. The barrel is Winchester Proof Steel in a polished blue finish, while the receiver is aluminum alloy with a dark anodized/blue appearance.
The action uses Winchester's rotating four-lug bolt locking into a barrel extension, driven by dual action bars. A threaded magazine cap supports the takedown system for straightforward transport and maintenance. Capacity is 4+1 with 2 3/4 inch shells.
The wood furniture includes a checkered pistol-grip stock with an oval medallion and a white-line spacer, paired with a checkered wood forend. Length of pull measures 14.0 inches. A ventilated recoil pad molded with the Winchester Repeating Arms logo completes the stock.
Controls and operating elements are familiar and practical: a cross-bolt safety, an internal hammer, and a front bead sight. Built in the United States during the 1970s and marked by an L-prefix serial format, this Model 1200 reflects the New Haven production era.
