Gentlemen
I want to get a scope for my shotgun. Does anyone know what scope mounts on the SWFA site will fit on the Winchester SX3?
Thank you Edited by shooter4 - December/25/2009 at 18:09 |

No but if you call SWFA they should have a chart. Other than that you could look on different manufactureres sites for one that matches that model. You may wind up having to have a gunsmith drill and tap it and install a base. Is this a slug gun?

The SX3 rifled barrel has an integral Weaver canitlevered base ... Is this what you're dicscussing ? If so , any quality Weaver style mount would work . I'd go with a name brand steel mount like Leupold ,WArne, Burris or Weaver . Height would depend on which optic you're using . |

Yeah that was the question, what style of base should I get for the SX3? I want to try it with a scope on it, not red dot, just some decent scope for fox hunting at night (its legal where I live). Can you guys recommend some decent starters combo (scope+mounts) for my shotgun? Regards |

Not sure how much you want to spend buy you will want illumination and a low power scope.

OK = so what you have is a SX3 Winchester slug gun which already has the base which is a cantalever Weaver style base. So you do not need a base correct. What you need is rings. So use Warne rings and any of the scopes I listed above would work with Low rings be sure you select 30mm or 1 inch depending on which scope you choose.

To try? I would go with the Bushnell Trophy and if it turned out you liked the scope on it I would then move up to a higher end at that time but to try i would just go with the trophy and Warne rings.

SVT that is good advice with the huge price difference going here. I have one of those Trophy scopes on a mini 14 and it works well for coyotes.
