Not sure on the SX3 but the youngest worked all summer and rewarded himself with a new shotgun for this fall,, he picked up a Versa Max.. The gun sure feels and shoots nice,, we havnt had a chance to get into the blinds with it yet but hopefully soon.. It's a sweet gun and good is good yah know, what is it we expect a gun to do for us.. It would all come down to personnel choice and fit I guess.
