  1. I've talked/thought about a .50B a couple times, but ditched the idea, Rocket. I'm not one to discourage someone from getting what they want (by any means), but IMO I'd rather spend my money on something else if I'm just punching paper/want a range warrior.
  2. monitoring a forum owned by a multi national company w/o compensation?.. thats just not smart. I think it shows on the company more so.. they don't care as long as Beretta corp. is selling guns turning crazy profits and charging $120 for long sleeve camo shirts that are "Imported" of "International origin" - RE: Made in China LOL
  3. My LEII gas piston 5.56 (cmmg) w/eotch x-p-s-2 & g23, K9 4-rail float tube + Limbsaver pad. Then one w/CMMG .22 conversion kit installed in the same rig in action (yours truely). Thousands of rounds w/o a hic-up. Seriously. Thousands of rounds. El Cheap-o ammo to 'good stuff' never a hic-up with either CMMG conversion assembly I have. Still accurate as a whip, too.
  4. CMMG and don't look back.
  5. Beautiful part of the country. Grats again on filling the tag.
  6. Anything in Waxed cotton? My old Filson waxer is on its last leg. Save the marketing materials though. I'm not free billboard space for Beretta International
  7. hmm.. doesn't sound right. My Novas are older and up at the cabin so I can't take a look-see on mine. the pics are a bit smallish/not localized.. By chance could the 'scratches' be from test-fires and/or cycling the action?... more scuffing than 'scratching'. The rough edges is concerning, though. Shouldn't be anything like that on any part. However, I can't see it well enough in the pics.
  8. Welcome to the family, XT. We're a dysfunctional bunch
  9. Some nice stuff in here gentlemen - thumbs up! Kicking around my pre-war Savage Model 4 project that I've been putting off for quite a few years. I just dug out of a safe again this past week. About the only thing I've decided on is a DuraCoat finish on the metals and want to give the trigger a little attention to see if I can lighten it up a tad with-in the old designs constraints. New sight system is in order as well. Its time this one gets done.
  10. Nice looking tenderloin and sirloins, Cope Thumbs up Zeke. Nice bear. Where did you get her?
  11. best to contact the mfg and ask. They have a Customer Service tab right on top of their web site/page/portal. 3rd tab from the left ..
  12. Unusually slow thread these days..?.. Toss another one up. Had to pull this one off the phone to share. My Wirehairs are behind the camera so its me (part-of), a marsh bird, ol' 'tank' (Lab), my pre-Benelli Franchi Alcione SL-12 sporting.. and my buddy's finger..
  13. Irony: BITD Benelli produced and marketed an M2 'Practical'... Its discontinued.......
  14. Practical answer: Choose the one you like the most if your budget allows. Otherwise the SBE handles 3-1/2" shells. Personally, I've used 3.5's (sans 10ga) on a hunt once in my life (on a whim) and likely never will again. Some people swear by their 3-1/2" waterfowl loads so you'll get varied opinions/answers there. With the shim kit and recoil pad choices you should have decent success tweaking the fit (& feel).. main thing is be happy with what your decision is based on fit and feel and how the gun comes to shoulder. Head to a gun shop and handle them both back-2-back-2-back several times.. you should be able get a better 'personalized' answer by doing that. Good Luck with it, zgxtreme
  15. If you're stuck on going with Benelli get an SBE and forget about it. However, as Creeper mentioned, if you're looking at a lower budget item the Nova offerings are good choices. I've got both a 12 and 20 Nova along with an M1014, SBE, SuperSport 20 and M2. If I was forced to choose 1 from the lot of my Benellis I'm taking the SBE and not blinking. *The real thing to note is how the gun fits you, feels and handles in YOUR hands. good luck
  16. P226? .. got one. A Blackwater Special Edition. My favorite rig. Love my M1014 though but its a safe angel. Don't shoot it much
  17. What do looks have to do with it? Do you want 5 or 6 extra?
