I just got a SX3 waterfowl edition as my graduation from college gift. I love it! I upgraded from a benelli nova. Im excited to put it to the test this season.

I upgraded from nova to sx3 last season and will never look back. Awesome gun!

I picked out a franchi 3 1/2 model.  Has it down to the sx3 or it and went with the inertia system of the franchi vs the gas system of the sx3.  Also saved myself $100 this way.

My buddy is selling a SX3 right now - LMK if you're interested and I can connect you guys.

Picked up a stoager 3500 a few weeks ago pretty satisfied with it so far. Took a bit before it started cycling lighter loads still sometimes have hiccups but vary few. I believe after a solid duck season should have zero issue with it cycling anything. But if you shoot any sort of duck load it's guaranteed to go boom every time. The only upgrade I did which I heard was a good idea was to install the Benelli sbe2 extractor and extractor spring. Little more beafy and better design, it functioned just fine without but it was a fairly cheap upgrade. Highly recommend this gun.

Congrats on the new gun, should kill ducks just fine.  How can you highly recommend the gun though when it has "hiccups" shooting light loads?  Hopefully it won't have any problems after you break it in.  Shoot straight and kill the boy ducks!

Hunted birds all my life and 4 years ago I bought a SX3.  Best gun I have ever owned. 

In shotguns that is..

Well at least for a waterfowl gun....this gun was ment to shoot the bigger 3.5 magnum shells so cheap lighter loads like 2 3/4 bird shot don't always give the needed recoil for a inertia driven gun. Like I said it's begun to start functioning fine after a good cleaning and couple hundred rounds. For the price point though you can't go wrong, getting a inertia driven gun with Benellis patten technology that will function 3.5 inch shells no problem and even small as  2 3/4 is pretty impressive. Even SBE 2 go through a break in period and can be fussy with functioning those lighter loads. Either way not to concerned sense I do plane on hunting ducks/geese  with it just occasional skeet shoot. That's just my  on the gun, and will put it through its paces this weekend

Stoeger 3500 is the way to be IMO.  Brother and I both have one as well as another friend in Texas.

I love mine so far, did you every have issues with lighter loads when you first got it?

I just got one and ran a box of 3" and then 3.5" and then shot trap loads without any issues. I also had the recoil weight out. I think most people that have the issues with lighter loads not cycling still have the recoil reducer in.

recoil reducers are for girls.

You ignored d all the solid advice on the sx3?! Just had to be different didn't you. How'd you like it?

[krout81]

Sorry I missed the reply.  I have never had any issues with cycling.  Also I forgot another friend bought one and did put in the reducer and had issues.  So man up and take it out😀😀😀😀. The recoil is nothing even with 3.5
