Winchester SX4 | Gear Review

[@sdgrant9744]

Just picked up my new SX4 Mossy Oak today over here in the UK. Great review guys! Heading out on the Pigeons tomorrow to give it a try out.

[@Merritt3246]

Between SX2,3&4, I have 7. Two 20’s, and Five 12’s. They all have been flawless! 👍🏻👍🏻

@@Merritt3246 good to hear!!

Great review. Very tempted to trade my current Zoli for one of these.

[@weouchere8384]

Just bought a SX4 in July from Scheels. I can’t wait to get out with it!

I have a SX4 in 20ga for waterfowl and love it. I've shot Beretta A300&400, they tend to hit you hard in the cheek where the SX4 doesn't. I also shot the Benelli SB3 and M2, also noticeable recoil increase. I would say for the price, SX4 is the winner. Not saying the others aren't good guns, but an extra $1000 is a lot of money for some of us. You can't go wrong with a SX4.

Old School Arkansas Flooded Timber Duck Hunter checking in. For starters, a Duck gun should not cost more than your house note. If you hunt flooded timber, you will drop your shotgun in the water. Dunk happens. I have a 10-year-old SX3 3.5 12 Gauge that has misfired once and that was in 25 degree weather. The patterning of the Invector Plus Barrel with off the shelf steel shot is amazing. Other shotguns must be sent off to an aftermarket machine shop at additional cost to pattern effectively.

I am thrilled with my SX4 20g. However, I bought a Franchi Affinity 3 and it sucks, harder to load and the shells tend to jam.

[@vanderwell07ify]

I have the old sx2 3.5" still works. Gonna be buying the sx4 here soon

[@WhisperingWild]

@@vanderwell07ify that’s awesome! We love ours

[@aceofspadesoutdoors5564]

cleaning a couple times a season is crazy

[@WisconsinRiver]

Do you guys ever use slings on them? I used a sling on mine for a few hunts the sling clip really tore up the magazine cap

[@WhisperingWild]

@@WisconsinRiver yea I do occasionally but never had any issues

[@aarontitusz8655]

Great video! What’s the rough round count of your sx4’s?

[@WhisperingWild]

@@aarontitusz8655 I would say I’m around 1500 rounds - Tyler

My 1100 after 30 years of hunting and trap and skeet and other shotgun sports has finally had its first issue. I am obviously going to try and have it fixed. But if it cant be fixed, this shotgun is looking attractive for me. I am an active shotgun sport enthusiast. So I'm looking for a shotgun that does it all and will hang with me through the years. I don't believe that the gun makes or breaks the shooter but the shooter needs a gun he can count on. in other words its not the hammer its the carpenter, but the hammer needs to work.

What kind of choke do you use

[@WhisperingWild]

@@tituswilliams3547 In my sx4 I run Carlson cremator mid and long range -tyler

@@WhisperingWild appreciate it

[@WhisperingWild]

@@tituswilliams3547 not a problem!

[@calebchampion3244]

I bought an sx4 a week ago, it will shoot twice and then leave the 3rd shell in the magazine. Any info on that? It’s not every single time but it does happen a high percentage of the time. Really aggravating

[@WhisperingWild]

@@calebchampion3244 is that with target loads or all loads? Possibly a break in issue?

[@calebchampion3244]

@@WhisperingWild I did notice it was worse with target loads, but it also done it with fiocchi 1 1/8oz, not near as often though

[@timeslick8167]

Clean the piston and tube and makes your ports in the barrel are clear. 5:07

[@broncosandbulletholes8932]

I had 3 failure to feeds within 10 shots (failed to pull shell from the tube completely) I deep cleaned the factory cosmleine style oil out of it , used some high quality oil and 100 rounds in about hour and a half ran like a sowing machine 🤷🏻‍♂️ Dad and brother and I picked up sx4s the same day and their guns had zero issues

[@ItzKevbot]

What’s the name of the saddle mount?

[@WhisperingWild]

I believe it’s by Sun optics

[@ItzKevbot]

@@WhisperingWild thanks man I’m picking up the sx4 this Saturday and would like the option to throw an optic on it for turkey season

[@WhisperingWild]

@@ItzKevbot no problem!

My brother and I just bought 2 sx4. Inconsistent cycling on both . We cleaned both per manual. Called Winchester. They said try diffrent oil and that the shells that winchester make may not be good enough. I have gotten 2 diffrent answers from 2 Winchester reps. Apparently I have to shoot hibrass to dove hunt. What a shitty company. I have a remington 1100 that doesn't ever jam. I guess modern engineering and technology from Winchester can't compete with design and craftsmanship from the 70s.smdh

[@WhisperingWild]

@@HughBlansit sorry to hear that your not having the same experience we have with the gun. Could it be the break in cycle?
