miller86 Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Hi all I have a sxp that's 2 3/4 - 3" chambered and was wondering if I got the 3-1/2" barrel if it would work for starters and would it be worth it, I will be doing some wild fowling pest control for a friend in the near future but don't want to buy a new gun really if I can help it Cheers all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert 888 Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Not 100% sure but if the barrel arrangement is the same as the sx3 the action wont be long enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrapFiller Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Just make sure the action can accommodate the 3 and 1/2 barrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildfowler12 Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 It won't work mate, unless the gun is a 3 1/2' version too. The empty carts would jam in the ejection port, if not something more severe. I'm not even sure if the 3 1/2' SXP is available over here yet? I know it's been out in the states for some time now, so it can't be too far away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miller86 Posted December 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 I shall just have to wait till it arrives the buy sxp with the 3-1/2" barrel. Just one more quick one do I even need a chamber that big for water fowl or would he 3" be enough to do the job (mainly Canada geese) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildfowler12 Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 (edited) IMO, the best of the 3' steel shells readily available in the UK are Gamebore Mammoth Steel (No.1's for geese) They're about £3 for 10, keep the range sensible and they'll kill Canada's well. Remmington do some very good steel shells that would be suitable, but they're about 3x the price of the mammoths.

miller86 Posted January 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) Cheers for thar wildfowler12 ill keep that name in mind and get some once the bills have all gone out so should be good on mallard if a couple happen to fly in (its on a fishery inland) and in season of course. And as for range 20-30 yards max should be ok Edited January 1, 2013 by miller86 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
