I just bought a SBE after much research and saving hard earned money. This passed weekend I patterned it with some friends. I have to say I Loved It! The recoil was a little heavy but it surpassed my expectations as far as a recoil shotgun is concerned. I am a devout Browning A-5 fan. I do not like any of the current auto shotguns that are gas operated! I need help answering 4 questions:
1) Does the recoil reducer really reduce recoil on heavier loads?
2) I am a first time Turkey hunter, Did I make a mistake buying the SBE with a 28" barrel. I like to hunt squirrels, occasionally ducks, and rabbits. Several of my friends have criticized me on the barrel length.
3) Has anyone had experience with the pistol grip style stock? I held one and it really felt natural. I think it would be great for Turkey or squirrel hunting, but maybe a shorter barrel would better.
4) Does Benelli offer a 24" barrel for the SBE?
