new gun

Postby Drake2 » Tue Aug 26, 2008 2:59 pm

Had a decent year last year. Minus some gun problems from browning bps (hanging up) even when clean. Just purchased the Winchester SX3, hope to get more shots off this season. Any comments on how the SX3 should perform?

I shoot a BPS for the last 6-7 seasons and it might get cleaned after January 31 but only if its lucky. Never had it jam though.

Ha. Good one! True but put that I keep clean bc think of how many ppl would have said it probably needed a cleaning. It actually could be the user cwinkler. Hunting buddy told me he had same problem because he was raised shooting 870 and mossberg shotguns that had a shorter shucking action. Guy said the browning was a little bit longer than he was used to. :? so cwinkler could have a good hypothesis :lol:

I have the sx3 and love it. I haven't had any probs out of mine other than dropping it in the river and it freezing up until I got it back dry. This is the first automatic I've owned and will prob be the only one for a while.

I would have to agree! I purchased the SX3 and can't seem to put it down now. I can't get over how light and good it feels when you throw up to shoot! Everyone that I have hunted with has said something good about it. I have already killed a few limits of geese and doves with it. (pics on site) I put the "jam-o-matic Browning BPS" in the closet where it will stay. This gun has an unbelievable smooth, fast action. I am very happy with the purchase at 849.00!
