Abstract: We propose that a certain $4d$ $mathcalN=1$ $SU(2)imesSU(2)$ gauge theory flows in the IR to an $mathcalN=3$ SCFT plus a single free chiral field. The specific $mathcalN=3$ SCFT has rank $1$ and a dimension three Coulomb branch operator. The flow is generically expected to land at the $mathcalN=3$ SCFT deformed by the marginal deformation associated with said Coulomb branch operator. We also present a discussion about the properties expected of various RG invariant quantities from $mathcalN=3$ superconformal symmetry, and use these to test our proposal. Finally, we discuss a generalization to another $mathcalN=1$ model that we propose is related to a certain rank $3$ $mathcalN=3$ SCFT through the turning of certain marginal deformations.
