Title: Super X 3 20 gauge
Post by: 10gaugemag on December 25, 2017, 10:10:35 AM
Anybody on ere have A Winchester SX 3 20 gauge?  I assume most are shooting HW #7.

What is the choke of choice for the Inv+ 20 gauge guns with longer barrels??



Thinking very hard about one of these with a 28" barrel. I really like the idea of weight savings when hiking some of the hills we hunt in the Ozarks.

I like and use a TruLock 565...reason i like this choke it gives you a little wiggle room up close ...some will tell you you the 555 choke also...but that's a tighter choke...but now i'm shooting mine out of a youth 870 - 20 ga. with 21 inch barrel with the Federal HW 7

If like for 90 days if you don't like the Trulock choke they will replace it or make it right..great service....i also like a non-ported choke ...

I have a 26" barreled SX3 20ga killed 6 with it last season using a carlsons longbeard .568 choke and 15/8oz of #9 tss. I have a .560 gobbling thunder that does well and a .585 flush carlson turkey choke that has alot more forgiving pattern than other 2 I mentioned and I'll be running the .585 this year.

we ran 562 in them.  They are one of the best guns for putting up big number patterns.

I tried Sumtoy, Factory X full, MadMax .565,

My best pattern was a pure gold .555 nitro 3in striaght hevi 7s.
Now I shoot Apex #9 stopped counting at  280.

Mine is a NWTF SX3 20ga with duratouch.
