The Super X Legacy

The Winchester Super X3 represents a legendary chapter in Winchester’s storied history. Though discontinued in 2018 in favor of the newer Super X4, the SX3 remains one of the most respected and reliable autoloading shotguns ever produced. Known for its extraordinary durability and performance, the SX3 has earned a devoted following among serious hunters who demand unfailing reliability in the harshest conditions.

Unmatched Reliability

The heart of the Super X3 is its self-adjusting Active Valve gas system, capable of cycling a wide variety of loads while significantly reducing felt recoil compared to inertia-operated systems. This innovative design has been tested to fire 5,000 rounds without a single malfunction – an extraordinary testament to its engineering excellence. Whether in subfreezing duck blinds, muddy fields, or dusty uplands, the SX3 continues to perform when other shotguns fail.

Performance Features

The SX3’s lightweight design features several weight-reducing components, including an ultralight alloy magazine tube and recoil spring system that removes half a pound from the overall weight. The narrow profile barrel with machined rib contributes to its excellent handling characteristics, while the .742″ Back-Bored Technology delivers optimal shot uniformity and velocity.

Hunting Ready

Available in both 12 and 20 gauge configurations with 26″ or 28″ barrel options, the SX3 comes equipped with three Invector-Plus choke tubes (Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder), two length of pull stock spacers, drop and cast adjustment shims, and sling swivel studs. The shotgun features a chrome-plated chamber and bore for enhanced durability and corrosion resistance.

Premium Finishes

This specific model features the Mossy Oak® Break-Up® Infinity camouflage pattern with Dura-Touch® Armor Coating for superior grip and protection in wet conditions. The slender stock and forearm dimensions improve handling, especially when wearing heavy gloves during cold weather hunts.
