I have owned several of these guns, and all were superb. The engineers had two orders from the front office in developing the SX-1:
Build it of all steel and walnut, and make it to have the feel of the Model 12.
They succeeded. As others have said, the 1100 buried it in the marketplace. And even with the additional cost over the 1100, when all costs of production were added, apparently the bean counters figured that Winchester never made a nickel on the Super-X Model One.
As a number here are shooting this gun now, the only additional note I would make is to be sure to have a fresh bolt buffer in the gun. All of the originals, even if factory new, have hardened and deteriorated with age. New replacements are available from multiple sources.
