WinchesterDave Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Thinking of getting a SX3, want to know if they are any good? Would be good if someone who has one could tell me their personal opinion on what they think of theirs... Thinking of 28", 3.5" composite if I was to get one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking of 28", 3.5" composite if I was to get one Hiyah Dave I own what you thinking of getting, lovely guns, I havent had a hickup yet plenty of threads on here about the SX3.I bought the SX3 because Browning Maxus was not available at the time in the uk or locally, otherwise truthfully I would have bought the Maxus same gun really but more features, both still from Belgium. look on there respective websites and watch the promo videos and make your own mind up.

WinchesterDave Posted January 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 I was looking at the Maxus and the only difference I noticed really was the speed load feature and the magazine cut off! So I was thinking is that worth the extra money for pretty much the same gun ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I was thinking is that worth the extra money for pretty much the same gun ? Most certainly, probaly the mag cut off it what Id like when you unload I just lift the carrier up a tad and cycle the action to empty the chamber. I certainly wont sell my SX3 to buy the Maxus Im very happy with it GO on go for it :lol: Buy it now ATB Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet boy Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Hi Dave.IMO the SX3 is a cracking gun! I've got the the Camo version with 30" barrel in a 3.5" chamber.I mainly shoot 70mm Gamebore Black Gold carts and I've never had a jam! ATB.

bullet boy Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 I take it the ejector is good on it then ! Thank you! Ejector is very good and the gun cycles extremely fast too. It supposed to be the fastest shotgun in the world! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinchesterDave Posted January 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Yeah I've heard it's meant to be the fastest! Patrick flanigun fired 12 rounds in 1.442 seconds! That's astonishing! But don't browning claim the same with the Maxus ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salop Matt Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Also look at the Maxus and Benelli m2 ! For me the SX3 was very plastic and cheap feeling when i handled one, it was a real let down. In the end i settled on a Benelli M2 new but also consider a second hand benelli or berretta, i would lean towards the benelli though !

WinchesterDave Posted January 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Yeah I will go for the sx3 over Maxus partially because they are a bit cheaper and I like Winchester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
