that is what I thought someone told me but I just wanted to make sure, thanks for the info!

Which choke is it that works with the new crio system, the Optima or the Optima+, anyone know for sure?

Anybody else notice 'red lines' at the edge of their camo pattern on their new M2 or SBEII??

Dang the luck! I am one of you up in the 8th. I got a new M2 this year and love it! Sell what parts you have to someone and at least recoup some of your money...

I have a new M2 in MAX-4, and love it! But to be honest there are several places where something happened to the film in the dipping process and the camo pattern shows red lines at the edges of some of the details. Oh well, it shoots great and I don't suspect the red lines will be noticed by the ducks or the turkeys...

Who is aware of someone marketing extended chokes for the new criochoke system? I'm looking for both a turkey tube somewhere around .660 and a steel shot tube for waterfowling...

I think "he" is really a "she". Anyway, perhaps my safety already had the same spring being used as a replacement, for I honestly couldn't tell a difference. If you SBE II owners had a safety button that much stiffer than my M2, I feel for you. But the effort, service, and turnaround time was nothing short of fantastic. Kudos to Christine, your a great asset to Benelli customers! [ 08-11-2004, 09:55 AM: Message edited by: Pentale ]

Mine has a smidgen of play, but not quite a bit. I'm pleased as can be with my new M2, and it shoots great to boot!

Got my trigger group back, turn around was six business days. But to be honest, it didn't seem to be any different. Maybe it was thought to be 'acceptable' as it was...

That is just the encouraging word I was looking for, I'll be sending mine off this week! Thanks...

Most will shoot high to some degree, depends on the gun though. Trap guns may shoot 75-25 or even higher. Field guns around 60-40 or even flatter. Also depends on the shooter to some extent. Wingshooting I let the bird/target sit on top of the bead as I swing. For turkeys I aim as if the front sight were on a rifle, right where I want to hit.

Just though of this, you could replace the front bead with the one the Nova uses. It is a larger bead of the same style and the threads are the same. This would essentially 'lower' your pattern to your bead.

My M2 patterned about 60-40 with fast 1 ounce steel loads, and about the same with 3 dram 1 1/8 ounce trap loads. And the pattern was centered left and right on my gun as well. This should be ideal for my intent for this gun...waterfowling!

If it was a '9' on a 1-10 scale of stiffness before, what would you all say it is after being "fixed"?
