flippermaj Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 Thinking of getting a pump as fed up trying to find the empties from my auto and one farmer is complaining about the empties left behind. The sxp is fairly new on the market, how have folk got on with them? Any nova users out there got any feedback. Cheers Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalahari Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 Both those pumps will also throw empties about if you go for a fast second shot! The most useful for a find your empty competition is the Browning BPS which ejects downwards. I have a post near the end of the "pump club" thread which will put yu in touch with Davey and Co who will help. I have no connection with them except as a satisfied customer. David.

storm in a teacup Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 I have an sxp, its great for the money but it also throws the empties a fair distance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruffydog Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 Ditto for me. You should also be aware that, although the SXP looks very similar to the Winchester SX3, you can't buy shims to alter the LoP or cast. This might not be a problem for you, but I'm left-handed and tall, so I have to consciously remember to mount it differently from my SX3 (which is set up for a lefty!) Apart from that, It's much better value and more reliable than my old SX3. I'd recommend it to any right-handed shooter below 5'7'' :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Mark I shoot a SXP as a second gun for the price there hard to beat . there two main downfalls are heavy trigger pull and the forend forcing through your hand when wet or gloved . if you watch Chris greens latest trailer (think its on here somewhere) you can see it happening to him and it totally throws your pump cycle out and its made worse with magnum ammo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flippermaj Posted November 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 Hi Kalahari, I would have a BPS if they did a camo one in 3.5 ! That brand new wood one would soon be trashed after a few sessions in the mud with me, I need a camo one so it doesnt rust away and 3.5 inch is handy for the foreshore geese. UK fowler, I am not too sure what you mean by the fore end slipping through your hands? Do you mean that on firing it starts to move back by itself, slipping through your grip? Also how far does the SXP eject the carts, the SX3 chucks them out for miles! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 Better off looking at one of the 31/2" over and under if you don't want to go looking for your empties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie10 Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Pumps are great for films and practical shotgun. Wouldn't get another one for wildfowling again, had the SXP, got rid of it to get a Maxus, much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers yes that is spot on if you go to the add on you tube for the sxp you will see flannagan shooting the 8 shot and he gives a demo of how the speedpump system will through a shell out without pumping as he shoots one handed.With mag ammo and wet hands the fore end slips through your grip and can eject the spent shell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caravanman Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 I've had an SXP for a couple of months now and I like it very much. The speed pump makes it much easier and faster to pump than my Mossberg. The manual says it can handle all factory lead and steel loads but there are no proof marks on the barrel.
