I recently purchased a Sport II that upon inpsection under flourescent lighting, I noticed the blueing was hazy in numerous areas and had spotting in other areas. It appears benelli may have some problems in their barrel bluing/handling processes. I've sent the barrel back to have it reblued, I should get it back by the end of June. I hope it turns out ok, because I really like the way the gun shoots, but for the money it cost, it should also look good.
