Anyone familiar with this? What is drawing me to it is it is gas operated. Downside is the weight specified is 6.75-7.25 lbs. My Beretta A350 12 is lighter than that. Pros-cons guys?
Not sure why the cantilever weights that much more, but if you were interested in the sx4 I would get the universal hunter that is already drilled and tapped for a scope or a red dot type sight.
20 ga sx4 cantilever with 24 inch barrel-Weight
7 lbs 4 oz
20 ga sx4 universal hunter with a 26 inch barrel-Weight
6 lbs 10 oz
Thanks. I do not have a 20 in the stable as yet so im pondering.
I'd do exactly what Yelper is saying and get the universal model. I own the SX3 cantilever in 12 gauge and always wished it was a regular model with a 26" barrel. Excellent gun but kind of limited in certain ways with the cantilever. I also own an SX3 and SX4 20 gauges with 26" barrels and they are phenomenal guns. Love the proven gas system and they are soft reliable shooters. My SX4 shoots dead on with the bead at 40 yards. My SX3 I'm setting up now with a Burris Fastfire 3 and Meadow Creek mount.
I passed on that gun due to the weight. The main purpose of 20ga was the weight. In hind sight I would have went 28ga when I started hand loading.
My sbe2 is only 7.2 lbs so a new turkey getter had to be light!
Nice gun. Im happy with it,Id buy a universal one with a 24" barrel if I find it. I never noticed the weight but It is not light for a 20 gauge.Nice feeling comfortable gun.No recoil from my perspective.
If you want light weight go with the Benelli Montefeltro 20. Excellent gun.
Want to find a balance recoil can be an issue with my neck. I have a 835 scoped my main turkey gun although it is a heavy one. A Beretta A350 12 7.25lbs I use mainly for waterfowl but I did take a nice gobbler with it last year. The Beretta is so easy to clean. You know the drill we are always looking.
The SX 3 is the softest shooting 20 I have ever handled. The weight isn't bad. I had an 835 and have a lighter single shot 20. Really the 8 oz or so of difference in weights doesn't make much difference, the sling makes them tolerable or not.

What`s your set up? Thanks
Here are my SX guns. The top pic is my 20 SX3 and the bottom pic is my SX3 and SX4 20 gauges and the SX3 12 gauge (cantilever).

One of the best Greenleaf dips I have seen!
I have the SX4 that I bought an extra cantilever barrel for. I love the ability to change barrels and not have to worry about POI. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210603/bd9f61f0f66f28e453bfebec66d06350.jpg)

Nice set up Terry. I love my SX4. Mine shoots POA/POI with the bead at 40 yards. I'm going to leave that gun the way it is and use just a bead. Sometimes I like simplicity. Where did you get that turkey footprint bolt handle?
Thanks guys. nice looking setups. Lunghit i have never used a red dot like that. Having it mounted on the rail does that cause problems being further away from your eyes?

Win SX3 Universal hunter 26" barrel with a Claw sling and a Nikon Spur reflex sight. The single shot is a CVA Scout 20 gauge with a lightweight Allen sling and a Bushnell tube that will soon be replaced with a reflex sight yet to be determined.

No problems at all. The field of view is much better than a regular scope.

Thanks, it's superfluous but I wanted it anyways.
