Dodgemball Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 I recently purchased a Winchester SX3 composite and the dealer cocked up on the order and got me a 30" barrel version instead of the 26". They were very good about it all and told me to keep hold of the 30" gun and use it until they could supply me with the 26" one. When I came to putting it away in my gun cabinet I found it too tall to fit when fully built up. My cabinet is a standard 3 gun Bratton Sound one which is probably one of the most popular ones on the market so I just want to pass this information on to save anyone considering the 30" version from any disappointment or added hassel, having to break it down in order to lock it away in their cabinet. Dodgemball P.S The winchester sx3 is awesome and anyone thinking of buying one should do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_R Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Most (if not all) semi-autos are like that. My 26" S/A is the same overall length as my 30" O/U. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glensman Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 My cabinet, can't remember the brand, it's a good one. Has a wee square cut out of the shelf in case one gun has an extremely long barrel... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lez325 Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 I have a Brattonsound 5 gun extra deep cabinet and my 30" barrel Bettinsoli Diamond fits perfectly - as do both my semi auto;s 28" Is your an older cabinet?

RArch Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Dodgemball: What is the overall length of the gun? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanl50 Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 I got a 30" and a 26" barrel and the 30" wont go in my cabinet so the 30" barrel sit in a storage slip in the cabinet on its own. :blink: Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuji Shooter Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 I own a 30" SX3 Flanigan - best gun i have ever shot and I use it for everyhting now. Mine fits in the cabinet fine but will not fit in any gun slips I had (even Winchesters own) Can you buy spare barrels for them, I would love a shorter one for skeet.

Dodgemball P.S The winchester sx3 is awesome and anyone thinking of buying one should do so. This problem arose nearly 3 three years ago when the Browning pheonix was released, same again the standard 30" model would not fit in Brattonsound cabinets with a lockable top. It was on this basis that brattonsound increased the standard size of it cabinets to 1515mm.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
