Albert 888 Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 The coating on the black shadow isn't as good as the grey ones or cammo. They susceptible to rust in harsh environments.I have a grey sx3 and its great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnytheboy Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 I had am sx3 great fun, the coating wore off but I just ceracoted it, it's the best auto I have had, and I think I've had nearly all of them so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westley Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 I bought an X3 'Fannygun' thinking it may be easier to clean than my Beretta 391. I only used it 3 times and it went back in exchange for a Beretta 303. Although it was easier to clean and I could hit clays with it, I just felt that it was a bit 'clanky' when shooting it, a bit like a Benelli really. Although the 303 has the usual loose forend, I have cured that by packing the wood to metal with a small piece of leather, it now shoots great and is easy to clean.

bang bang birdy Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 I've got the sx3 composite (grey one ) and love it. Not had any problems with it. It fairly easy to clean, and it fits me and I can hit stuff with it. What more could you ask for😀😀😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert 888 Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Im just a bit worried about the rust issue also considering the beretta a300 Mines a marsh gun so out in the elements,it's the grey one,mate bought a new black one and it rusted quite quick. Buy a secondhand grey or camo one. Only problems I had is with 36g barnarghi,it wouldn't cycle them,everything else works a treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kent Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 I saw the two guns Albert talks of its a fact. The cameo one as I have is also fine as it has the same plating under the cameo dip wrap About 7 seasons in with the sx 3 camo normally at least two flights a week on the Marsh through a season. All proper mucky stuff. Not changed a single part on the gun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShootingEgg Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Ive had my composite for 2 years, and have had the mag extended so its now a sec1. So far no problems what so ever with it. Lovely gun that gets the job done... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
