Title: Side by side comparison
Post by: Tail Feathers on March 10, 2015, 08:47:40 PM
I shot my SX3 20 gauge to check sight in today and followed up by shooting my 835 with 3.5" Mag Blends. 
10% better pattern in the 10" circle at 40 yards from the 835, along with 100% more recoil ;D
I've shot the 835 for years and it's been good.  But after handling them back to back, the SX3 points and shoots much nicer.  And the noise difference is remarkable.

I know, it's not a fair comparison but I'm loving the 20.
