OK,what do you like or dislike about it?I see that it almost a pound lighter than the X2...I am looking for RELIABILTY first with least maintance(seems the gas guns I dealt with start acting up as soon as the carbon builds up on the mag tube!)

I've got a Browning Gold 3 1/2" 12ga, which shares quite a few parts with the Winchester.

I just got back from a duck hunt is Arkansas. I ran a box of 3 1/2" shells thru the gun without a hiccup. This was in 28 degree weather, get the gun wet and muddy duck hunt. One of the guys Benellis did choke on one flight we had come through. I don't mention that to bash Benelli's just to emphasize it was a tough shotgun day. The Browning held it's own with the other B-guns.

With the Winchesters I'm sure you'll have to do the same thing I did.

First, thing before you ever shoot one of these autos is clean out the recoil spring tube and degrease the action. I use Breakfree CLP on mine and don't have any of the "issues" some folks claim to have with those guns.

The speed feed feature on the Browning is really really nice when the ducks are flooding in. All you have to think about is shoving shells in the magazine and not take your eyes off the birds.

The big safety is a major nice touch with gloved hands as well.

Read this article and follow this guys advise on cleaning the new Browning/Winchester autos.

You'll be real glad you did.

Interesting,thanks!!

I have a Super X3 I bought last year. Awesome gun! If you check page 4 here, there is my reply to another similiar post. I am still extremely pleased with it. Highly recommend it.
