The Super X2 is truly a remarkable new shotgun — a world class
shotgun with world class origins. Its manufacture represents an
unprecedented collaborative effort between the traditional
Winchester firearms manufacturing plant in New Haven,
Connecticut and our associated plants in various European
locations. Thus the distinctive barrel marking. In addition,
Super X2 testing and research and development spans the globe
from our Utah facility to Connecticut to Belgium. It is a new
breed of Winchester from a new “global” Winchester brand.
Every aspect of its design points toward two primary objectives:
(1) unmatched reliability, and (2) superb handling. While it is
true that the overall design draws on nearly a century of
Winchester firearms shotgun experience, it is clear that this in
an all new Winchester with performance features the most
demanding hunters and shooters want.
A few things to take notice of are:
• The remarkably simple , self-adjusting, self-cleaning gas piston
system.
• The alloy receiver that balances weight between the hands with
just enough barrel weight for smoothness.
• The acclaimed Invector
®
Plus choke system that incorporates
long choke tapers and a back-bored barrel for better patterns.
• The large, exceptionally functional safety button.
As you learn about your new Super X2 and begin shooting it,
we’re sure you’ll agree its design sets new standards for reliability
and handling performance.
