It works in two ways. It adds weight, which of course scrubs off some recoil before it hits your shoulder. It also features a tube that contains mercury (a heavy liquid metal), but the tube isn't full. When the weapon is fired, the mercury moves inside the tube using kinetic energy to negate some of the recoil energy. They didn't put it in all Benellis because some are bothered less by recoil than are others. It's easier and more profitable to sell it as an add-on than it is to put it in all guns and then have to list their weights as heavier in the catalogs.

I was hoping for one of just the bird. Oh well, hopefully we'll shift to page two soon

Post it up. If it's good, it counts

The hose takes up the extra space. Cut to fit.

Post this season's pictures here. Sorry for not getting this started before you shot your crane, skidaho. Those pics would be a great start for this thread.

Nice job! I was thinking the red crest meant that it was an adult, but I may have it backwards? Heckuva bird either way! Did you get a weight on it?

With the listed loads, the difference in felt recoil would be so minute that the average man wouldn't be able to tell. If dove loads are a problem, you should probably look for a heavy, gas-operated 20 ga. Generally speaking, gas and barrel-action recoil guns will deliver less recoil to the shoulder, because they use more of the energy to operate the action than do the Inertia guns.

My profession has nothing to do with guns, repair, or hunting. Even if it did, I wouldn't abuse someone else's welcome by using their resources to promote my wares. I hunt and shoot, and I like to help people when my knowledge affords me the ability to do so. That's why I'm here. I didn't stop in to promote my new line of products. You seemed to have lost me on the three letters comment, but maybe it's just because it's early yet. I mean, I know you're referring to USA, but if you're saying free speech entitles one to spamming rights on any Internet forum, I'm afraid you've misunderstood the intent of the docuement. 5? You spam the forum. I call you on it. And that makes me 5, and you a civilized adult? Interesting way of looking at it. No matter, I'll just hit the button next time and let the folks who run the thing decide what's spam and what isn't.

I recommend bird shot for shooting yourself in the foot

I'm definitely going to try both of those. First I gotta get some more ducks and geese

You know, this is getting to be real close to spamming

http://www.benelli.it/Articoli/Famiglie.asp?IDTipo=9 You can sometimes find them on gunbroker or gunsamerica. http://gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=80164811 I don't think too many US dealers stock them.

Doves Oriental... I guess? I pretty much winged this one, so I'm not sure what you call it... other than good Ingredients 8-10 Dove Breasts (or other dark fowl meat) 1 Tbsp Season Salt 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar 1 Tbsp Garlic Powder 1 Onion Olive Oil 1/4 cup Worchestershire Sauce 1/4 cup Balsamic Vinegar Salt Pepper 1 Uncle Ben's Oriental Fried Rice 1/4 cup Bourbon (optional) Prep: Combine Dry Mix Ingredients making sure brown sugar is thoroughly broken into powder. Rinse and pat dry deboned dove fillets. Pour Worchestershire and Balsamic Vinegar over dove breasts and let soak 10 minutes. Remove breasts (save the marinade) and coat with the dry rub. Dice Onion into medium sized pieces or cut into 1" strips. Cook: Begin preparing the rice per the instructions. Coat the bottom of a medium skillet with olive oil and saute the onions until clear, adding salt and pepper to taste. When the onions are clear, reduce the heat and add the leftover marinade to the onions and continue to cook for a couple of minutes. Add the dove breasts and turn them in three minutes or so. Continue to cook the mix until the onions have turned brown and tender. Remove the pan from the heat and pour the bourbon over the doves and onions. Return to the heat and cook until you can no longer smell the alcohol. The mix should reduce to a thin gravy consistency. Plate: Make a bed of the rice and cover it with the doves and onions. garnish with parsley flakes or something like that. EAT!

Sounds like flinching.

I live in Southern VA. I'm a street hot dog vendor, as my father and his father were. I work grandad's cart 7 days a week. I'm a lifelong member of the National Orgranization of Street Hotdog Independent Traders, which was founded by my grandfather Giseppi in 1923. It's a rewarading fruitful way to earn a living, but I'll most likely be the last in my family to run the business. The upstart foreigners have no respect for tradition with their dijon mustards and gourmet horseradishes. They're ruining the whole thing. Alas, I am nearing retirement age anyway, so it's no longer that big of a deal. Several of them have tried to join NOSHIT, but we're keeping it pure thus far. Since I do work 7 days a week on the cart, I have little time to shoot my Benelli during the day, but I do use it at night when turtle hunting. Doubles and even the occassional triple are the norn when the SBEII is on the prowl. It takes a lot of turtle to keep the profit margins in the 80's, but my Benelli keeps the family fed and the electricity on most months. I do take Hanukkah off every year and do a little duck hunting.

Oops! I'll bet you're right on that one. :o

I think some folks confuse gunkote and duracoat. Duracoat can be applied cold and can give a rough and uneven finish. Gunkote is baked on and if applied properly can be as slick and beautiful as any factory finish. Applied properly I don't think the Gunkote finish will hurt the value of the gun one bit. It could increase the value in the mind of the right kind of buyer. The Benelli stock black finish leaves something to be desired, and gunkote and similar aftermarket finishes can take up that slack. I would love to see Benelli go to a similar finish from the factory.

With proper care, the finish will last a long, long time. If it happens to get a nick or two, it can easily be touched up with modeling paints. If you want a low maintenance finish the camo is the way to go.

No it isn't. All I had to do was open my gun cabinet and there it was! Like anything else, if you give it some care it will last a long time.
