Hey guys,

So my buddies surprised me with a Winchester SX3 for my engagement/ getting hired (finally got into a job that I worked very hard to get into).

And now I am looking to treat myself to the rifled barrel for it because the stupid laws of southern Ontario dictate that rifles are far to dangerous to use to hunt deer.

Anyone know of site sponser/ GTA stores that would carry a barrel for the SX3? I know that they are likely rare because it is more or less a specialty part for a somewhat uncommon gun (unlike my old 870 that this will be replacing)
 
Probably be easier to buy a rifled barrel for your 870 and have 2 guns. Having said that, try Gagnon's or Ellwood Epps. They may be able to order you a barrel if they don't have 1. Good luck with your quest. Bac4
 
"...because the stupid laws of southern Ontario dictate that rifles are far to dangerous to use to hunt deer..." Nonsense. Only some WMU's are shotguns only. It has nothing to do with Southern Ontario either. In any case, you're treating yourself to a fully rifled barrel because you got the job. Both of 'em. snicker.
A Winchester SX3 rifled barrel is worth as much as a whole shotgun. MSRP Stateside is $539 to $659 US. That'd be why they're hard to come by.
 
No one carries them in stock unless someone backed out of buying one. I have never even seen one on the EE on the Deer SX3 as a whole.

When I priced it out through prophet river before as they can import the part for you, it was near $800 bucks.

Oh and you have to make sure you get the proper barrel. A 3" can only be used on a 3" and a 3.5" only on a 3.5" gun. And they come with a new foreend as the barrel is thicker.

You would be into another gun with a scope for what it costs for the one barrel and then still need a scope.
 
Have an sx3 and you can buy a h&r slug hunter and savage 220 once you price it all out vs an sx3 slug barrel. Buy a slug barrel for your 870 and save yourself some money.
