Frequently asked questions

Does the 20-gauge load variety matter for this SXS 520?

Yes. The 3-inch chamber accepts both 2.75-inch and 3-inch shells, giving you ammunition flexibility for different hunting scenarios and target loads. Check shell weights and shot sizes for your intended use.

How does the extractor system work on side-by-side shotguns?

Extractors lift spent shells from the breech when you open the action—they don't eject automatically. You manually remove empties, which many shooters prefer for controlled reloading and shell recovery.

What do I need to bring for DROS in California?

Bring a valid California driver's license or ID card, proof of residency, your Firearm Safety Certificate (FSC), and payment for the firearm and transfer fees. TacticCAL is your FFL dealer Morgan Hill in the Bay Area.
