Well here she is. My latest addition to the 20 gauge family. The jury is still out. The fit and finish are great. The trigger is horrible. I was surprised to find out that this gun in manufactured in Istanbul Turkey. It shoots an amazing pattern. 345 in a 10" circle using Federal TSS #9 and a Carlson .568 choke.

Leupold VX-Freedom 4X20 mm Pig Plex Reticle
Amazing 345 at 40 . Aim small , really small
Mine has killed 3 birds, one youth too! The trigger is fantastic so I think it's a hit and miss - and the trigger can be worked!!

No issues
The gun patterns great,the gun is a nice feeling gun.Winchester has massive quality control issues on their new "beater" shotguns,the sxp is a pos compared to the old 1300.I have two sxp now,a 12 and the new 20 and two 1300 that are over 20+ years old.The triggers being released on some of new guns are an embarrassment to a once great name.No excuses to get a pos trigger from the factory like I did.

How is the trigger after getting it worked on?

Is the Carlson choke you got that pattern with the tss choke or Long beard choke?
Long Beard

Horrible trigger design. I've done trigger work on two SXP Longbeard 20 gauges and both were "acceptable" post work. My gun accounted for 4 gobblers this year w/ a 15/8 oz. handload of TSS. 9's. Winchester really needs to address the quality control issues on these shotguns, esp. the triggers.
A little off topic and sorry to slightly high jack this thread, but since we are on crappy Winchester triggers, I have an SX3 in 12 gauge and the trigger has a lot of slop in it. Can you folks who did/had trigger work go in to detail on what was done? I am thinking of tinkering with it this summer to try to tighten up the slop and lower the poundage. Or is the SX3 trigger a completely different animal than the SXP and I'm stuck with what I got?
I am shooting a Carlson's .568 in my 500 moss 870 Rem and Stevens 301 with Federal TSS #9 all three guns are turkey killing machines at 40+ yds.
