Kelly - check out the Weatherby SA-08 in 12 or 20 gauge. It's about $200 less than the SX3 and a nice gun.

I bought the 20 gauge for my son and it's a great shooter. I just sighted it in for turkey season - Longbeard XR choke tube with #6 Longbeards is averaging about 120 pellets at 40 yards. I put a Carlson rifled choke tub in it for deer and it throws 1/2" patterns at 50 yards.

Edit: It does not come pre-drilled but that cost ($50?) is substantially less than the difference in cost of the gun.

It's hard to beat for the price, and you can get accessories/parts out of their California division.
