I hunt turkey, waterfowl, and dove with my SBE. I've also shot many rounds of sporting clays with it. I can say I've never had any problems with any load! I'm looking into the Supersport for sporting clays so I can save my hunting gun for that, hunting.

I thought about checking out the flyways edition myself until I saw that they are only making 175 of each edition. I can't imagine the price tag on them! Nice looking gun though. [ 03-09-2004, 11:19 AM: Message edited by: Wingman ]

This is in response to bwnr. Maybe I'm a bit ignorant, I haven't owned too many guns, but I'm surprised you'd say the SBE got heavy while hunting pheasants. What's lighter? I know the Browning 3 1/2 and the Winchester X2 are not. Doesn't really matter I guess, I wouldn't trade my SBE for any other, except the SBE II. [ 02-27-2004, 11:34 AM: Message edited by: Wingman ]

I have a SBE and I'm very pleased. From what I've read, I would wait for the SBE II if money is not an issue. Sounds to me like they've taken an already great gun and improved the pattern and addressed the recoil. You will feel the recoil with a 3 1/2 turkey load when patterning the SBE. I expect the price of the SBE II to be between $100-$200 more than the SBE.
