Can you hear that steak sizzling? All of the duck hunting guns in our reviews are the best of the best. These are the guns my team use and recommend to other duck hunters.  One of our favorite semi-auto loading shotguns we would like to talk about next is the Winchester SX3 Waterfowl Hunter. This thing is as smooth as silk and the gas operation really dampens the recoil. Fast? Do you want to talk fast? This is the fastest autoloader in the field. I have never had a malfunction since I have owned my SX3. I keep it very clean. One of the main reasons for keeping it so clean is because of the breakdown process. The SX3 is so easy to break down and clean. It has two punch pins and the bolt has three main parts to remove it. I love the no slip grip on the synthetic stock.

If the Winchester SX3 were a college football team, it would be Alabama. It doesn’t make many mistakes or “break down”.  At the end of the day it is right there at the top. If you were to purchase this gun, I can promise  99.9% of the days you have it will be happy days.  Here are some specs for the SX3:

 

• .742″ Back-Bored Technology barrel reduces recoil and provides ideal shot performance with less shot deformation
• Invector-Plus Choke Tube System™ offers uniform, reliable patterns
• Hard Chrome Chamber and Bore make surfaces highly resistant to wear and corrosion
• Truglo Long Bead Fiber-Optic front sight offers true, precise sight picture
• Load Diversity shoots all shells from factory target to heavy waterfowl and turkey loads
• Qudra-Vent™ Ports vent excess gases for cleaner operation
• 12 shots in just 1.442 seconds put you on the game faster
• Drop-Out Trigger is easily removed for cleaning
• Ambidextrous Safety is easily reversible
• Cast/Drop Shims and Length of Pull Spacers allow adjustments for perfect fit, both 12 and 20 gauge
