Anyone else have problems with the barrel exploding?
I bought my oldest son a 870 youth model for Christmas last year. And got myself a SX3. I love the way it fit. It fits me almost as well as a few upper line O/U's.
The first hunt after Christmas, we had a couple of Mallards swing wide, and land by a bank. I shot over them once to try and get them to fly or swim closer to us. On the first shot, they jumped off the bank, but stayed in the little cove where they landed. The second shot (6th shot for this gun!!) this happened
The gun was shipped back on December 29th 2007. I got a call the first part of September this year from the dealer I bought the gun at, and was told, the gun had kind of been forgoten about and was apoligized to. (no problem, Winchester was charging me $450 to replace the barrel because it was caused by an obstructed barrel) (a wad got stuck at the back of the choke tube the shot before). Well, the dealer said he called Browning and said it was completely unacceptable to take that long to replace a barrel, and sold me a brand new one for $450.
Just wondering if anyone else has had an experience like this. I love the gun, and shoot very well with it (well way better than any other shotgun I own, or have in the past lol) but Browning/Winchester customer service sucks!!
