I need to upgrade my upland shotgun

[Okie4570]

Look at Winchester SX3 and pocket the money you save.

Good call..............never even thought about suggesting. That's what my daughter shoots............and sleeps with in the field lol.

I love bird hunting and when I used a 20 gauge and would miss I always thought "if I would have had my 12 gauge that bird wouldn't have flown away". The higher powered 20 gauge shells are about triple the price of cheap 12 gauge ammo for the same amount of power and they make a lot of light 12 gauge guns now. But I have owned over 100 guns and the one I miss the most was my CZ Ringneck side by side 20 gauge with single trigger and 28" barrels.

If you can find one, the Rem 1100 light 20 is easily carried in the field all day.

I would suggest an SX3 as well. CDNN has even had them in the past for around $700. I have had mine since 2009 and never had any problems.

The price of ammo should be much of a problem, as I use expensive 12ga to hunt with. And I recently found a big stockpile of 20ga upland shells that I had laying around, I shouldn't need hunting shells for a while.

CDNN?

I looked at them online, and I like what I see. Now I just need to go hold one and see what I can find. And at that price point that allows me to have money for other toys laying around.

Franchi, Benneli, and Berreta are all part of the same company. Stoeger is also. You can get a Stoeger 3500 semi auto with the same inertia action as the more expesive brands you named for less $$$. Some of the accessories will fit the Stoegers such as extended magazine tubes. I have no hands on experience with any of those guns but I have read about them.

I'm currently shooting a browning bps 20g upland. So far I like it. Not shot it a ton but squirrels never knew what hit them

Nice shotgun. ^^^

Thanks I really like it. I would have never bought it but I got used for a sweet deal I thought. Previous owner swapped the 23" I think factory barrel for a 28".

Come to think of it other than maybe an armadillo squirrels is all I've hunted with it. Need to fix that.

I've been shooting a CZ Canvasback the last several years. It's a great gun and it's cheap (maybe $650 new).
