silver pigeon 3 Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 At last i decided on a new gun for next year on the marsh, after chopping and changing my mind since the end of last season I went to the Avalon guns open day yesterday just to have a look and hopefully try the 3 guns i had narrowed it down to which were the Maxus/SX3 & beretta A400 xtreme. Managed to put a few rounds threw all 3 and couldnt get on with the Maxus so it was a choice of 2. Talked with the salesman and after sorting out prices i went with the SX3 as i just couldn't justify paying twice as much for a gun for out in the mud,salt & sand. Being truthful the Beretta was nicer and smoother but the SX3 had an almost agricultural feel that sort of inspired confidence that it is going to soak up the use and abuse just fine. Only bad bit to the day was having to confess to the Mrs when i got back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blunderbuss Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Only bad bit to the day was having to confess to the Mrs when i got back I'm in that blissful position of Mrs BB not being quite sure how many guns are in the cabinet. I don't think she'd notice if I snuck another one in . Enjoy your new gun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoggy Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Great choice mate. I`ve just purchased an X3 after using a Remmie for years. Compared to the prices of the Beretta`s, Benelli`s,Brownings, I thought the Winchester was good value for money. Although the 3 mentioned are without doubt great guns I personally feel they`re somewhat overpriced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
