I am in the market for a new upland gun. I have been mostly looking at the silver hunter 20 gauge and a sx3 walnut field 20 gauge. I would prefer one with a 26" barrel. Does anyone have any opinions on these gun? Are there any other guns I should be looking at around the price of these guns?
 
SX3 a fine choice.

I have the SX3 in 20ga walnut field:) and A mate has the silver hunter in 20ga as well, (both 28") both have proven very reliable and easy to maintain, 6000 rounds threw the SX3, had a couple jams only one my fault as trying to catch the shell. Have only stripped it for a full clean once,
I persanaly concider both to be amoung the best value gas guns on the market,
They are both made in the same factory as far as I know, and the internal workings seam the same,
Personaly for a unpland gun you might want to look at a U/O or SxS as well, pretty rear to get more than 2 good shots of at upland birds, althought you won't get much of an U/O new for the price of the Sx3.
Upland lots of fun and good excuse for a fine sub gauge, I rearly use a auto upland any more, normaly a 16 or 28ga U/O, aslo if you are group hunting a break action is probley safer, and much easer for others to identifie as being safed.

Have a look at the weatherby SA-08 --- Hard to beat and low priced.

This. I had an SA-08 in 12 gauge that I sold to finance another purchase, and I should have kept it. I also have a Mossberg SA-20, which is the same gun as the 20 ga. SA-08 and I like it a lot. The Weatherby gives you the choice of wood or synthetic though, where the Mossberg is synthetic.
 
The benelli is almost a pound lighter than the winchester and the browning. Will this make much of a difference?
 
Also I likea gun with a lot of drop, like my A5 mag 12. I know some of them guns come with shims for LOP but do any come with shims for adjusting drop?
