I appreciate all of the posts and input. I also appreciate this forum sponsored by Benelli. I've been rethinking my need for a 3.5" capable shotgun. I think I might look toward an M2 since today's 3" mags can do a pretty good job on most anything. I am having trouble even finding a Benelli on the shelf at the local shops. Hope I can dig one up soon. Thanks again for all of the input. Joe

After reading a few of the posts, I am becoming disappointed with what I am hearing (and seeing) concerning QC at Benelli. What's going on at Benelli that keeps them from resolving these issues before the guns are shipped??? I was almost ready to take the plunge on a new SBE II, but now, WOOOO Nanny!
