10 gauge

[Black Crow]

I wanna hear some opinions from you guys. Here's the deal...

I have a Winchester Super X2 NWTF edition 12 gauge that I been trying to sell my buddy. It is a bada** turkey gun, but I don't hunt turkeys much anymore so I don't have a lotta use for it. Anyway, he says he wants to buy it, but he doesn't have the money right now. So he offered to trade me his Ithaca Mag-10 (10 gauge) for my Winchester SX2. If you are familiar with shotguns, the Ithaca Mag 10 is a historic gun. It is the gun on which the legendary Remington SP-10 is based upon. It is in great condition and is a remarkably smooth shot. Actually has less reciol than any of my 12 gauges. I'm just trying to decide if this is a worth while trade. I'd like to hear yall's opinions.

By the way, the gun would be used to hunt geese and high flying ducks.

personally if its in good as shape you say it might be worth it.

You may want to take it and shoot some steel loads thru it and see how it cycles. I have one that belonged to my grandfather and it won't cycle everytime with steel shot. Also it has a fixed full choke so that is not the greatest either. Does his mag 10 have screw in chokes? That mag 10 is a lot of gun weight and size but it will put a whuppin on somthing. :D

I just sold a Browning Bps 10ga and got a Winchester SX3 and I love it so far.

Ask yourself. Do I have a need for a 10 ga. ?

[78mudbug]

all i can say is that 10ga will put a whoppin on some geese:D.if it has screw in chokes that u can shoot steel threw and u dont need the sx2.i think it would be a good trade.just my 2 cents

[Big Willie]

I got a Rem sp 10 26inch barrel with screw in chokes i would be interested in trading with you

I retired my mag 10 several years back. The browning gold 10 leaves no cripples. Esp on the snows.

Depends how old it is, I wouldnt dare shoot the modern loads thru it. It may be worth a lot more than your 12 guage as a trade for another gun later down the road.

No choke tubes = no steel shot. It doesn't deform and will split the barrel below the choke. I'm not a duck or goose hunter so I'll hold my tongue about the other stuff. The SX2 is a great gun. I would look up a vent rib barrel and hang on to it. IMHO.

Love my sp10. I shoot an improved cylinder with steel 3s and it is deadly on close ducks. I have shot hevi shot #4s and it is absolutely awesome but too expensive to shoot all time. The down side is the weight.
