Alanl50 Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 Well I had the SX3 now a couple of weeks I am so chuffed with it, its acounted for just 300 pigeons so far, it so light and easy to point and sod all recoil, IM well happy with my choice. Id recommend them to anyone Ive still got my Hatstand though, Ive no intention yet of selling it, its been faultless. Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSPUK Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 Can you alter the stock length - I had a go with one and it was too long which peed me off Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deputy dog Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 I love my SX3 camo. Got rid of my Bettinsoli an put the proceeds to buying this beauty. Iv fired number 1 carts through it and it still cycled them with out any fuss and with hardly any recoil, which is a bonus. Would highly recommend this gun to any one. Pleasure to shoot out in the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dibs Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 I bought an SX3 last month and I am well impressed. Bought the Flannigun for clays and if your not worried about what some people think, colour wise (im not) it is a really lovely piece of kit to shoot. I bought it due to an ongoing shoulder injury to ease the burden of recoil with the intention of going back to an OU once mended but at present I am absolutely sold on it. Brilliant piece of kit.

RAMMER BURT Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 Have a go with a Maxus - I have just bought the Grade 2 - hunter and at 5'10" with normal length arms it is about 3/4" too short for me! i was going to get one of these but i also found the stock very short dam shame as the gun looks well made and handled nicely as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanl50 Posted August 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 (edited) CHEERS ALAN looks like ill be off to rdf fo a sx3 soon as i get paid cheers fella I hope you will be as pleased as I am, Ive even been using 67mm 7.1/2 trap carts with no miss feeds On the barrel it says 2.3/4", 3" and 3.1/2" but its been cycling 67mm, probaly had about 200 through it, so it all good. Its very soft on recoil to my shoulder which is good as I had double major surgery on it last year. Im using RC2, 70mm, 28g, no 6 shot for pigeons at the moment you really dont know you have pulled the trigger although the empty could possbly double as a clay when ejected and Im using 34g Fiochi no 5 shot for rabbits its still soft to shoot.

Dibs Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 Blade, Top job on finding that manual. I have been trying to find the info on the shims and now I have it. Superb! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 I love mine it cycles everything i put through it, 2 1/2" - 3 1/2" . Failed to lift light clay loads i had on two occasions (thats two shots only), but it was very dirty at the time and i have shot it a lot and these occured early days and why shoot ultra light loads with a semi designed for use with up to 3 1/2" shells? It fires out those empties with some wallop twice as far as others i have used perhaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
