Title: New turkey gun has arrived
Post by: lunghit on June 14, 2022, 03:03:24 PM
My new Winchester SX4 20 gauge in M.O. Bottomland has arrived. Finally found one with a 24" barrel and I just installed the new FF3 and Meadow Creek mount. Might wait for some cooler weather before I pattern her with some Apex TSS and a few different chokes.

Good looking gun, I'm a 12 gauge guy myself. But theres one thing we will agree on. Wayyy too hot to be out patterning guns right now. Hitting 100 degrees in my neck of the woods the past 2 days

Thanks. Yea I might even wait for the fall before I take a shot with this gun. Plus I'm waiting on my state to possibly legalize number 9 shot for turkey so I want to know what to sight in with. That new law will either pass or fail this fall so I might as well wait and find out.

Lol I know. An over and under sometimes temps me but I love autos. The only other gun I might look into is the mossberg pro turkey only if they make a 20 gauge. But this new SX4 has everything I want in a gun. I was going to wait to pattern in the fall but I don't think I can hold off lol.

I didn't think they made a bottomland version with the 24" barrel - did you custom order?

It's an exclusive model only sold by Hunter's Haven in Tupelo MS. Once I saw it has a 24" barrel and this camo I called them up to place an order. They have them in stock and the whole process was very easy. I have been looking for something like this for a while. Here is the gun on Winchester's website:

I overlooked that on the website - thanks for the info

Is the receiver drilled and tapped as stated on the website?
Title: Re: New turkey gun has arrived
Post by: lunghit on June 19, 2022, 06:45:58 AM
Yes it is drilled and tapped. I love the Meadow Creek mount and went that way instead.
Title: Re: New turkey gun has arrived
Post by: tcbowhunter on June 19, 2022, 07:11:49 AM
Thinking of trying a meadow creek mount on the next gun I set up but like having other options as well!

Good looking gun and glad I can help. I'll let you know when I do some patterning, maybe next Wednesday if the weather allows.

Temp here today was 100 degree. I can't wait to shoot. Got a I/C .555 choke. Know it's tight but planning on shooting TSS #9.

Got a Holosun 507c mounted and I/C .555 choke

same...the 940 turkey pro in 20 or if remington ever makes a v3 turkey in 20 will probably be the only thing that makes me go 20 guage.

Looks nice. What's the weight?
Title: Re: New turkey gun has arrived
Post by: lunghit on August 11, 2022, 01:04:07 PM
I'll put a sling on it and weight the whole setup tomorrow. I think it's right around 7 pounds

That's not too bad! I remember handling an SX4 compact years back and thought they would be to heavy to tote around in the turkey woods.

Weighed it today with sling, choke and red dot sight and mount and it's 7.4 pounds.
