School me on the X3 by Winchester

I think palmetto has them on sale for stupid cheap

I've never heard anything bad about them. I have a couple of buddies that duck hunt with them. They absolutely love them.

I've had one for the past three years and I love it. Never had a single issue with it and pass at lest 1.5 cases through it a year. Handles 3.5 inch shells very well too

you'll need to clean it more often bc it's a gas system. if you're ok with that, it's a good solid workhorse shotgun. never shot the stoeger, so can't comment there. shoulder it n see if you like it. the sx4 is still too new and has some issues that need working out.

My dad has one and he really likes it. Shoots well for him and has had no mechanical issues with it.

Got one a few years ago, love it. Shoulders and tracks well, not too heavy. Originally wanted an A5, but have been extremely happy with this gun at two thirds the price, would buy a SX3 over an A5 if I had to do it over again.

Thank you everyone. I think this seals the deal for me.


Great part about TD OB.

I love mine too. Wouldn't trade it out.

You should be able to get a good deal on one since Win.is replacing it with the SX4

This, one of the managers at my local Academy mentioned to me a few months ago that they put the x3's on clearance for $599. May be able to find a similar deal if you shop around at similar stores.

I like my SX3 a lot. It's light, shoulders fast, and is a work horse. Gas system doesn't like too much oil on it, it operates flawlessly when dry from an oil standpoint. Have also hunted in the pouring rain and never had an issue. I've had zero problems cycling any loads I've put through it down to the cheapo low power steel shot. I've also tried to out run it and can't. Fastest cycling shotgun I've put my hands on.

My only gripe is that I'd prefer a bigger stock shim to bring the stock down a bit, but that's personal preference.

I've also held and fiddled with an SX4, and I can't for the life of me get over how ugly it is. The little things like the bigger safety, bigger bolt release, etc.. are nice but not a big enough difference for me. It does however have a better stock drop angle for my preference.
