Title: ANYONE SHOOT A WINCHESTER SX3 20 GAUGE?
Post by: SKFOOTER on June 16, 2014, 04:16:46 PM
I'm considering buying a Winchester SX3 20 gauge w/26" barrrel in Mossy Oak Bottomland and was wondering if anyone hunted with one??  If so, what choke/load combination do you use and what are your pattern results??  Thanks.   :OGturkeyhead:

What kind of numbers were you getting at 40 yards in the 10" circle with this combination??

With the good lot numbers I think 180 rang is easy.  Now this one was over 200 but that is one of them odd ones.

Where's the best place to get an sx3?  Buds gun shop?
Anybody know of a bottom land sx3 20 anywhere?

I got mine from Bud's Gun Shop.  I have the Universal Hunter version with 26" barrel and it's drilled and tapped, not the cantilever version.
Not sure if the cantilever version comes in bottomland the the UH only comes in Mossy Oak Infinity.
