Fuji Shooter Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 I have a Red SX3, in fact this is my 4th. Great gun and as long as your carts are 67mm+ you will have no issues with it ejecting. The 30" version certainly feels and swings better than the 28" for clays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickmep Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 you're looking at a flanigan sx3, you wont regret buying it. i've just bought one to replace the one i stupidly sold about 12 months ago, wont be selling this one. ultra reliable, super fast cycling. only a couple of things to watch, the butt pad is sticky on them in that it doesnt slide on your jacket, if you like them to do that i covered mine with electrical tape and that worked fine. strangely though i have left the pad on new one as it is and seem to be getting on with it fine. the other thing i had with my first one was the stock nut worked loose one morning, cured that on new one by lock tighting the nut on after shimming it. there were reports of gas springs breaking, but i've not heard of anyone actually having this happen. for my two pennies worth, they come with a 5 year warranty from new, which i'm not sure is transferable. for my piece of mind i bought latest one new, they seem to keep their money well and a new one wasn't much more than second hand.

WinchesterDave Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Fantastic gun, I've had mine about a year now. I've used it wildfowling, pigeon shooting and clays, it's never missed a beat! Really reliable gun. I'd reccomend it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Imp Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Just bought one today! Got a 28 inch sporting version. Went out to buy a berretta second hand but picked this up at a shop in Cheadle hume for 799 brand new. I bought it because when I picked it up and pointed it, it just felt right. Havent pulled the trigger yet........ Will be out next week to give it a try....will let you know.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aister Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Love mine. If I keep it clean it cycles perfect, having said that its been pretty dirty and still cycled fine. If my SX3 broke tomorrow I would order another without thinking about anything else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
