I finally got to handle several shotguns yesterday: Rem Versa Max, 11-87, Mossberg 930, Winchester SX3, Benelli SBE. Of the 5, the SX3 fit me the best. I was a bit surprised because my dad has an SX 2 and it doesn't fit me at all. The SX 3 is about perfect.
I plan to sell 2 shotguns and buy the SX 3 as a replacement for my current dedicated turkey and all purpose shotgun. Anyone have or know of any issues with the newer SX 3 - especially going between 2.75" and 3.5" shells?

Unless you get the occasional lemon, always possible with any brand, the SX3 should be great. The 3 is a little slimmer and has a lower rib than the 2, which might account for a better fit for you.

The x3 is basically a repackaged x2. I don't know of any real significant issues, occasionally the spring in the gas piston will break, but you can get it sleeved for less than $50 if/when it happens. I have an x2 that I bought back in 2006 and have put a few thousand rounds through. Other than having the piston sleeved I haven't had a single issue with it
