Hunting Use 

 
At 6.12 lbs, the SXP Upland Field is light enough to carry through a full day of pheasant or quail hunting without wearing on your shoulder. The 20 GA with a 3" chamber handles standard field loads and heavier 3" magnum loads if the situation calls for it. The walnut and nickel finish combination is more traditional than most synthetic-stocked field guns, which appeals to hunters who want something that looks like a hunting gun rather than a tactical shotgun with a different stock.

Owners of the Winchester SXP Upland 20 GA describe it as a light, easy-carrying field gun that does its job without fuss. The weight gets mentioned favorably by most. At around 6 lbs, it doesn't get heavy over a full day in the field.

The pump action is the other consistent positive. Users say it cycles smoothly and hasn't given them problems even after extended use with field loads. A few note it handles light loads without short-stroking, which matters when you're running lighter target loads.

The walnut and matte nickel finish combination gets positive remarks for its appearance. Owners seem to appreciate that it has the look of a traditional field gun rather than a synthetic-stocked budget option.

The most common criticism is that some would prefer a 28" barrel for certain applications, longer shots at flushing birds, for instance. A few owners also mentioned minor inconsistencies in fit and finish between individual guns, which is an occasional quality control issue rather than a systematic one.

Overall the feedback is positive. Hunters looking for a light 20-gauge pump with a wood stock at a reasonable price tend to come away satisfied with it.
