Talk me out of a Winchester SX3

[raindog101]

OK, I allow myself one major gun purchase per year. Last year was a VZ58. This year it's going to be a semi-auto shotgun. I want it for an all-around piece, from busting clays to maybe getting into duck and turkey hunting, and also for HD. The Winchester SX3 has gotten some nice reviews, and I like the look of it. I have yet to shoulder one, that's the next step. So, any words of wisdom from the shotgunners out there?

I have a SX2 which is really the same gun except the SX2 is a tad bit heavier than the 3. It's probably my favorite semi auto shotgun I have. Reliable, looks good, shoots and points good. They are FAST too. You won't have to worry about pulling the trigger to quickly with whatever you are doing.

A good shotgun all around in my opinion.


I'm not sure how well I did of talking you out of one though...

I also like my SX2- sorry!

Haha...thanks a lot guys! Yeah, I wasn't expecting to get talked out of one. I was wondering if there were any dissenting opinions out there, if anything. I like the SX2 Practical, at first I was kind of hoping to see an SX3 Practical in the future. But then I handled a 28" SX3 today, and personally I wouldn't change a thing on it. It fits me like a glove, is a natural pointer, and it's oh-so-light. I'd be tempted to add a mag extension if I ever got into 3-gun, but that'd be about it. A rather snazzy looking piece in person, as well. I kinda like the gray with composite stock. So there you have it, I've talked myself into another gun. But then, you all could see that coming, eh?
