The last time I looked the Browning Golds, etc. had a shell cut-off and the Winchester didn't.

A few years ago I bought a lightly used 2003 Winchester SX-2 Waterfowl 3.5" with DuraTouch coating and it has been perfect through saltwater boat rides, freezing rain, snow and all of that duck hunting stuff like dragging it through the 9-foot-tall reeds for a quarter mile to get to a blind.

It cycles low brass 2.75" bird loads and is one of my favorite guns. And it's a soft shooter compared to my '93 870 Express with a Decelerator pad that I put on it (and it's 100% better than the original hard pad.)

I love the DuraTouch, too. A shell cut-off would have been nice, but it wasn't a deal breaker.
