Title: Winchester SXP Turkey Hunter - Quick Responses Appreciated!
Post by: Tommy Strutsalot on February 20, 2015, 03:17:08 PM
Hey All, 

Was looking for an 870 turkey setup that I wanted, but eventually could only find the specs that I wanted at Dicks (would prefer to buy from the small guy), they are even discontinued on Remington's Website.  Anyway, I didn't want the SureShot and didn't want to compromise on any of the specs I wanted.

This brought me to considering the Winchester SXP Turkey Hunter pump shotgun.  Thinking about sealing the deal 1.5 hours from now.  I know this is late notice, but anybody have any reviews or experience with the shotgun?  Thanks!

Hey thanks for your response.  Based on  yours and some other reviews that I read (from real people not from magazines) I ended up purchasing a Remington 870 SPS Sureshot Synthetic Turkey.

A very good choice.

Best of luck this season.
