First ... let me say thanks to all the replys . bwnr, I will be using the Benelli SBE2 as my "everything" gun, Turkey, Rabbit, Pheasant. I have a Thompson Center Arms OMEGA Muzzle loader that I use for Deer hunting. Now, I have a Winchester 1300 pump that I use for Turkey,Rabbit, Pheasant...basically the Benelli would be replacing the Winchester.

I everyone OK ... here is the question. I am considering purchasing a SBE2 , but at a price tag of around 1300 plus, I am a bit hesitant. for that much cash I could easly purchase two Remingtons or Winchesters!, is Benelli REALLY that much better?! compared to , Remington's 1187, or the 1100? and Winchesters super x2? Don't get me wrong ... I'm not nocking Benelli in any way, shape, or form. I just want to be absolutely sure that Benelli is " performance worth the price ". Please , ANY INFO. you could pass along, ... experiences, comparisons, exspecially if you owned another brand shotgun, and now use the Benelli ,( or visa versa ), Thanks

For what it's worth, I installed a mercury recoil reducer in the magazine tube on my Winchester 1300 pump, it did reduce recoil, I also installed a Limb saver recoil pad on the same gun, that helped even more.bottom line, they are worth the small investment, look around for a cheaper price Ibought my recoil reducer for about 12.00 bucks .. new, recoil pad was about 23.00. As far as porting goes, I did not do that. just my 2 cents
