SX4 vs 940 vs other 3.5” semi-autos

Looking at picking up a sub-$1k auto-loader for ducks and geese like a Winchester SX4 or a Mossberg 940. Bonus if they can cycle 2.75” target loads reliably. I know you guys have thoughts. Would you share them?

Have no experience with the mossy 940 but the SX4 will cycle target loads if they are 1&1/8 oz and at least 1200 fps. Everyone I know that shoots the Winchester, likes it.

I have a mossberg 940 pro turkey and I love it so far. Being a turkey gun, I’ve only shot it 20 times or so, mostly with heavy turkey loads, although it didn’t have an issue with the few low brass rounds I shot wither. So far, it looks like the 940 is better than some of the other mossberg shotguns I’ve see , but there’s no comparison when it comes to quality between that and a Winchester SX4.
My wife has a 20 gauge SX3 and it’s been an outstanding gun. I would definitely get the SX4.
Beretta A300s are nice guns as well.

Cant say anything about any mossberg product (at least anything positive) That being said, I read where the 940 was getting good reviews.
Sx4 is a great option, smaller and leaner than the 3.
If you look around; you might be able to find a browning gold or silver for 7-900, great option if so.
Have 3 berettas but no 300, no feedback to give sorry.

Yeah, I was going to mention browning silver but I wasn’t sure if they were less than $1k… I believe they have the same gas system as the Winchester.

Yep, the super x1 system...two piece bolt.
Browning spent a ton of money on high speed cameras to figure out why it worked so well.
Look for a second hand gold or silver and you should be under 1k

I have a 930, which is pretty much the same thing as a 940. It has been utterly reliable with all loads, and is a soft shooter. Eight pounds, which is heavy, so know what you want to do with it. A 930/940 is a very good option for waterfowl or clay/target shooting. Note that neither the 930 or 940 are chambered in 3.5". That is the 935.

Have a SX4 3.5”. Love it. Going to buy a 20 Ga little brother to pair it with.

The SX4 and the Browning Maxus are just about the same gun. I have the first Gen Maxus and that gun never let me down. But at the end of the day, I prefer the Benelli SBE3. Better fit for me.

Just an FYI Beretta A300 is a bit finicky on the shells it will eject.
I bought an SX4 to replace it and so far so good.

I have seen a ton of SX4s through our blind and rarely see them malfunction.
Under 1K that or Beretta A300
I will say if you are patient and can stretch the budget just a bit I picked up an A400 extreme plus for 1160 on gunbroker earlier this year. Had one scratch on the barrel otherwise perfect.

Thanks all for the feedback. Got the SX4 3.5” variant. Going to pattern the modified and improved cylinder chokes some time this week with steel shot. Hopefully I live long enough and it lasts long enough to pass down to my kids.
