Published February 20, by Winchester Staff
One of the most iconic shotguns ever built, Winchester Repeating Arms’ SX4 continues to spread its roots and leave its footprints across fields and waters. A semi-auto shotgun that has stood the test of time, Winchester offers the SX4 in 26 different models.
Why?
Simple. The line is successful, and Winchester Repeating Arms ensures there is an SX4 to meet the demands of any situation where a shotgun is the go-to firearm. From waterfowl to upland to clays and defense, there’s an SX4 semi-auto to meet your needs.
If you’re looking for an SX4 to jelly heads this spring, Winchester Repeating Arms has you covered. On the hunt for your next deer slayer? Consider the SX4 Cantilever Buck. Are you a southpaw wanting a shotgun that feels like it was tailor-made just for you? The SX4 Left Hand Hybrid Hunter Camo is hard to ignore.
If you’re in the market for a new-for-the-year shotgun, an SX4 is an excellent choice. A top-end gun maker like Winchester Repeating Arms won’t hang its hat on a gun line, expand that line, and continue to call attention to it if it doesn’t have a profound belief in that line. Winchester Repeating Arms is fully invested in growing the SX4 shotgun lineup.
Winchester SX4 Hybrid Hunter Bottomland
Though Winchester Repeating Arms launched several new shotgun models at the 2026 SHOT Show, one stole the show. Enter the SX4 Hybrid Hunter Bottomland.
Mossy Oak’s OG Bottomland camo continues to surge in popularity. With Bottomland on the composite stock and forearm, this SX4 Hybrid Hunter has racy eye appeal and is ready to help you dominate the fields and swamps. The tough-as-nails aluminum alloy receiver wears a no-shine, protect-at-all-costs Cerakote Flat Dark Earth finish, and so does the 26- or 28-inch (your choice) barrel.
Designed to be a waterfowl wrecker, the SX4 Hybrid Hunter Bottomland is chambered to handle 3-1/2-inch honker killers, but the Active Valve Gas System will cycle light 2-3/4-inch dove loads with ease. This same design was also used for the previous generation SX2 and SX3 autos, making the Active Valve Gas System a time tested, reliable design that handles extreme weather and temperature swings. The gas-driven design also reduces felt recoil for greater shooting comfort with heavy loads.
Boosting in-the-field handling, the SX4 Hybrid Hunter Bottomland features enlarged operating controls like the bolt handle and bolt release button. The rounded, close radius grip and textured gripping surfaces boost feel. This shotgun comes to the shoulder quickly, promotes balance, and swings easily.
Winchester Repeating Arms Hybrid Hunter Bottomland Options:
- 12-gauge, 3-½" chamber, 26" barrel
- 12-gauge, 3-1/2" chamber, 28" barrel
- 12-gauge, 3" chamber, 26" barrel
- 12-gauge, 3" chamber, 28" barrel
- 20-gauge, 3" chamber, 26" barrel
- 20-gauge, 3" chamber, 28" barrel
Your new SX4 Hybrid Hunter Bottomland comes with a front-mounted TRUGLO fiber-optic sight and a trio of Invector-Plus (F, M, IC) choke tubes. The wide Inflex Technology recoil pad soaks up felt recoil like a sponge, and sling swivel studs make sling attachment quick and easy. The back-bored, chrome-plated barrel ensures tight, consistent shot patterns, while the 3-1/2-inch chamber accommodates heavy waterfowl loads. Make no mistake, the SX4 Hybrid Hunter Bottomland is a do-all shotgun, but the build screams waterfowl.
Winchester Repeating Arms added a durable Black Nitride Surface Treatment to harden the chamber and bore surfaces and help those surfaces resist corrosion. Nickel Teflon coating on the bolt and bolt carrier reduces friction and corrosion. This shotgun is built to thrive in extreme weather and environmental conditions.
Other features include a reversible crossbolt safety and an easy to service drop-out trigger group, which make in-the-field cleaning much more straightforward. In addition to Bottomland, the Hybrid Hunter is also available in Mossy Oak Shadow Grass, Realtree Timber, Woodland, True Timber Prairie, Realtree Max 7, Realtree Legacy, and Mossy Oak Original Shadow Grass to match your local hunting environment.
