Doewhacker Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Do any of you know any thing about this gun? I have a buddy that has one for sale and I was looking for some feed back as to wether it is a good gun, I don't have a vast amount of knowledge on the subject. I think I can get it for around $3-$400..let me know if I should. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fasteddie Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 $300 - $400 would be a steal . I havn't seen one but I saw some reviews on the X2 http://www.rateitall.com/i-25618-winchester-super-x2.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fasteddie Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I bought a Winchester 1200 in 1965 and it's still a great shotgun ! I paid something like $115 for the win new and paid $135 for a rifled barrel just before The Creekside Gun Store closed . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNYBuckHunter Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Way to date yourself Eddie I miss Creekside, that was a great shop. I used to go shooting there all the time as a kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doewhacker Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 Well after reading your comments and doing a little online searching I am going to go see the gun and bring some cash with me. I will post a pic when I get it, its the duck hunter model and comes with some screw in chokes which is sweet. My buddy took it as part a deal when he sold his 4 wheelers and has no use for it, I can't pass up a good deal when I see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ny hunter Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Many of the fire arms I own came from good deals.............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Red Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I bought one at gander mountain 2 years ago for 700 and its a great gun.It shoots 23/4 skeet loads to 31/2 goose loads without any problems.Last year was duck hunting in a kayak in 25 mile an hour winds and when I say that gun got soaked with salt water,It got water down the barrel,in they action it was drenched.Took it apart a few days later and not one spot of rust and not one problem with the action.Hope you scoop it up.

Doewhacker Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 So I picked up the Win yesterday afternoon, $300 and a 12 pack was all it took..haha Not bad shape, shows a little wear, and the one of the choke tubes is stuck in there. A couple of days sitting in oil should cure that. I can now look forward to patterning it for Turkey hunting, it will be carried by my wife when she goes and of course I will use it too. I will get a snap shot later when I get home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ny hunter Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 If you bought a case instead of a 12pack you might have gotten it cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doewhacker Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 haha yea but when he sobered up he would have caught on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ny hunter Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 You still got a good deal.Enjoy......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doewhacker Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 Here is my "ugly gun" as I have named it, the synthetic stock makes it lighter than I thought it would. Still haven't got the choke un-stuck yet but I'm sure I'll get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve863 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Wow, you even got the box! Super good deal in my opinion for a nice gun. I was a bit worried about that choke when you mentioned it the other day. I hope you can get it out. What in the world did he do to get it stuck like that?

Doewhacker Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 I think it was just a case of not enough oil on the threads and it sat for a while un cared for, Which is never a good combo. I guess it happens alot, there tons of post's on forums about this. It came with I think, 5 chokes including some duck hunting specific chokes. Even if I never get the choke out I'm ok with it, hahah it seems pretty tight and should be fine for Turkey hunting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
