Winchester SX3 Rating?

[North Wales Hunter 6]

Hi all,

 

Ill be swapping my Winchester 101 XTR O/U for a SX3 on saturday at Gwynedd firearms and ive read some reviews and it seems to have good ratings but I thought that id put a post up to see if any one has one or had one to see what you think about it. A nd if anyone knows if theyll take shot 6 32g 67mm?

 

Any help for these questions would be a massive help!!

There a cracking gun mate, My friend shoots one and he owns a gunshop. I don't know wether they will take 67mm though as there chambered to 31/2" and you may find 70mm is the minimum they will fire. I know my remington 1187 super magnum thats chambered to 31/2" won't take anything less than 70mm.

Hi jake

 

As far as i'm aware the SX3 is also available in 3'' as well as 3.5 and should cycle 32 no 6's with no trouble at all.

 

I bought my SX3 Composite 3.5'' about a year ago and it has never let me down once. As mally has already stated , the 3.5 chambered version like mine does prefer the larger 70mm carts , but saying that , when i first got the gun i had a few 67mm carts left over from my previous o/u and the SX3 also cycled these with no problems at all. As for shooting , i still can't believe how little recoil is felt compared to other semi auto's that i have used , but i suppose that is a matter of personal choice. I opted for the Composite model because my guns are only used for hunting , and i wanted a gun that would take the rough and tumble of field use without worrying about scratching the woodwork.

 

At the end of the day i really can't praise the SX3 enough and cannot understand why somebody would go and pay a lot more money for another autoloader like a Beretta or Benelli , but again , i suppose that's personal choice.

 

Here's a link to Winchesters home page and another link that shows how to completely strip / assemble the SX3.

 

I hope you have many years of trouble free shooting with your new weapon ,
