Grandalf Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 You should be able to get a used Benelli Black Eagle - the original - for around that price. Three and a half inch steel and will never go wrong. Most mud liking gun on the market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrispti Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 yes i have used other semis and i didnt say it jammed infact ive only had about 5 jams total in about 2500 shots and i think everbody entiltiled to there own opinions if you like something and it works for you great im only stating that the sx3 in my opinion is a loverly all round gun which i would recomend to anybody whats the harm in just saying that i think its a good gun and if people dont agree they dont have to moan im not trying to be funny in any way im just trying to give the little bit of advice i know and hope to learn more good shooting sx3 Sorry I must have misunderstood this post.... The sx3 is a nicely balanced gun I use my dads more than him it's the waterfowl 3 1/2 magnum and if will cycle 28 grams all day but it will cycle 24 grams but when it gets dirty after about 50 cartridges it does start to jam Rgds sx3 Yes you are entitled to your opinion, but its pretty irrelevant in topics like this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tis1979 Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 No mate, it isn't. However having taken advice I run 'normal' steel loads through it with no adverse effects to date. Basically it boils down to no HP loads and no more than half choke, which I find is too tight anyway. You are of course limited quite a lot by chamber length but wildfowlers have for years managed without 3 1/2" chambers and I managed perfectly well last year. At the end of the day it's a £300 gun, IF it does get damaged in the long term then I'll not be crying too hard if I have to scrap it. That said, it survived two full submergences (one as I tracked a duck a little too far and quite literally rolled off my perch in the middle of a gully and into 18" of icy sea water, oh my mate did chuckle...for about 20 minutes! ) as well as being rolled around in the mud on several occasions and the only time it jammed was when I thought I'd get away with giving a muddy (dropped ) cart a quick wipe over then into the magazine, it declined to fully come back out due to the small particles of grit I'd missed, causing it to jam in the tube! Cheers mongrel good to know, what a sight you falling off your perch....quality! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
