Benelli SBE

All I know is, when duck season rolls around I won’t be reaching for some plastic gun made by Giuseppe. I’ll reach for an 870 Wingmaster, an 1100 or an old Mossy 500!
OK, Billy Boy...You got me on that one...
That's what happens when Benelli tried to make a gun like Beretta...Front safety and all...
That's great info , appreciate the detail.I don't have a dog in this fight (I have an a300 and a Benelli Supernova) and they, (SBE3 and a400 XP) are both better than my guns. The SBE3 doesn't feel as good in the hands to either of us. The owner has done some jerry rigging to fix the grip angle(he has tried all the shims/adjustments already) and it still doesn't feel quite right. The a400 Xtreme Plus(keep in mind it is not a regular a400) to me, feels better, swings better, and feels like the recoil system works better. I also love the oversized controls on the a400 X P. Of course, you can add those to any gun for $150 or so.
Everyone's got an opinion, I would try them both out. If I were picking between me and ilovesprig for an opinion I would go with his
Benelli, we still make 'em, one at a time (or is that Ranger boats... )

The new SBE 3 comes with extended tubes...Personally, I think tubes are way over rated for most game birds...Plain lead modified for most everything except turkeys...Which I use Carlson’s and Primos Jellyhead
I'm an old "Humpy" shooter...And actually still pull them out once in awhile...The newer ones actually point quite well and my one friend that shoots one, loves it...Montana 2020

This wasn’t in El Cajon don’t shoot those parrots it won’t end well for you.
