X2 - They pattern very well with a variety of chokes and shell combinations.  There's a lot of information on this gun in this forum that should get you going in the right direction should you decide to get one.

I have an SX2 which is the previous version of the improved SX3. My SX2 shoots well and I am very happy with it. Good luck.

i have this gun. i am finding that the stock set-up likes 3.5" LBXR #4s alot.
i also shot it with a Carlsons long beard choke and that patterned well with 3.5" LBXR #5s
