Title: What scope rail for Winchester SX3 20 Ga that isn't threaded??
Post by: c cape on March 07, 2017, 11:27:15 AM
I have a Winchester Sx3 20 ga in bottomland that I would like to put a red dot on.  It is not drilled and tapped from the factory but I have a local gunsmith that can.  Has anyone done this and what base did you use?

Thanks,
Chris

Used the burris 336 mount and Vortex venom sight had it drilled and tapped.

Get one of Sumtoy's bases for the fast fire. Lowest cleanest looking mount there is. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170307/2e463f7d5fc8857f254c5379b972fe9d.jpg)

I'm sure the sumtoy is a fine mount but it's not lower(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170310/e46785878ee3d4cb69988dcefc4c0d05.jpg)

You're gonna like that reflex sight.  I like the low profile and relatively open field of view.

Does any one know if they make a speed bead for the sx3 20ga ?

Ended up getting a sumtoy mount.  Had to do some modifying but finally got it on there.

To answer the speedbead question they do make one for the 12 GA SX3 that can be modified to work.  I couldn't find one in a limited amount of time though.
