As far as I can see the action is identical to the “Speed Pump Defender” and is a hunting version of the shotgun ie. longer barrel.
Rugged reliability with a non-glare matte finish on the barrel and receiver that won’t cause birds to flare. The durable composite stock and forearm are up to tough conditions. The hard working Speed Pump action fires all factory 2 3/4″ and 3″ steel, tungsten, bismuth and lead loads through a new, chrome plated .724″ back-bored barrel with Invector-Plusâ„¢ chokes, ensuring optimum patterns. Choose a tough 12 gauge with 26″ or 28″ barrel.
Specs:
Gauge: 12
Barrel Length: 26″ / 28″
Weight: 7 lbs / 7lbs 4 oz

I BET ITS NO THE NEW BLCAK SHAWDOW
I handled one today and it feels like the Nova, The forearm sildes all the way back to the trigger guard,The release is on the front of the trigger guard and easy to operate,( but dont keep you finger there) With its lite weight it will probly have a good kick and need a counter weight in the stock to reduce the recoil like the Nova. The gun I looked at was priced at $399 and had a good feel to it and looked and shouldered great BUT I have not shot one, I did own a Nova for a while and spent extra money trying to tame the recoil. I feel that this Winchester gun is trying to compete with a Nova and may give it a good run for the money. Somebody just go buy one and let us know what you think,
