[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1756838, member: 87243"] I have an SX3 Waterfowl. The difference between it and the black shadow is the waterfowl has a 3.5" chamber (vs. 3") and a piston set up for magnum shells. I love my SX3 for waterfowl, and wouldn't hesitate to use it for turkeys. It is not drilled and tapped however. It runs like a top, can't recall the last malfunction I had, and I have used is for 4 or 5 heavy waterfowl seasons now, including some intense snow geese hunting up in Canada. As far as follow ups....I can nearly empty this extended tube on a flock of snows before the last ones are out of range if they come in tight!! Ha ha[ATTACH=full]158370[/ATTACH] However, unless it is spotlessly clean or heavily oiled, it does not cycle light trap loads very reliably, I found out on my first pigeon shoot with it. The magnum piston does not let enough gas through to cycle. So, IF you get this shotgun and want the 3.5" chamber for turkeys, but also want to use it for trap, get the waterfowl model then buy the standard piston, it is about a 30 second swap, keep it in an oiled zip lock bag in my blindbag. May be too much of a hastle for you, but I really like my SX3. [/QUOTE]
