garren, I believe he was making fecetious reference to dandy's earlier post in which he used the term rifle to decribe his new shotgun.

Both are pretty common items on ebay, but you'll have to find a shipper who'll send it to you. [ 04-05-2006, 07:44 PM: Message edited by: tucker301 ]

I can't see a stick barrel that's not free-floated consistently shooting 1" at 100. Be happy if you get 2", and be very happy with 1.5".

Saw these solutions on another forum. Get a cheap 3/8" drive socket that just fits in the tube. Clean the inside of the tube with alcohol then JB Weld that socket into the choke tube making sure you don't get any run off in the bore of the barrel and that the socket's 3/8" drive-end is facing out so you can put a ratchet on it. Let it cure 24 hours. Next, lightly heat the barrel tip and use the ratchet to break it loose. Buy a new choke tube and use anti-sieze, not choke lube. ____________________________ The method of placing the muzzle of the gun in transmission fluid and heating to just below the smoking stage for about 10 minutes seems to be the most successful method. Use a hot plate outside well away from anything flamable and make certain a method of extinquishing a fire is readily available. Make certain you can turn the heat off from a distance by pulling a plug on an extension cord, for example. You don't want the hot transmission fluid to ignite by dripping on the hot plate. Let the fluid cool down before approaching and removing the barrel. ________________________________ Leave the barrel soaking in penetrating oil... every time you walk by it, take a wooden hammer handle and tap on it on the outside of the choke tube. It may take a day or a week, but it will eventually break free. ___________________________________ Threaded eye-bolt, with four washers smaller than the bore, and 3 nuts that fit it. One rubber stopper with a hole in the middle that the eye-bolt will fit through, and that is shorter than your choke tube. Ensure that the choke tube is clean in the bore. Place one nut on eye-bolt. Thread up. Place two washers, then followed by the rubber stopper. Next, two more washers, and then finally the second and third nut. Tighten the two bottom nuts against each other, and plunge the whole thing into the choke tube, taking care not to go past the choke tube to the barrel. Tighten down the top nut until the rubber stopper bulges out against the choke tube snuggly. Stick a screwdriver through the eye, and cuss and turn red while you try to work the tube out.

Please don't try that. Enough turkeys are lost each year because of people taking foolish shots.

Who has seen one like this? It was given to me about ten years ago. The guy who was making them had passed a few out to a friend of mine, trying to generate interest in them. I never used it hunting, and never fooled with it much until just recently. It actually sounds pretty darned good.

top gun is correct. I looked at the owber's manual on the Italian site and the desing is the same as the Montefeltro. A mag. extension will not work.

26# What's the record out there in Kalifornia?

Let's see some pictures, boys and girls!

What do you call that place, Paradise Valley? Great looking bird!

The magazine extensions fit M1 Super 90, SBE, SBEII, and M2. I'm guessing they'd also fit the Comfort, but you may want to check customer service to be sure. You can purchase a gun from a US Dealer and have it shipped through an exporter to Sweden (assuming Swedish law allows it). http://www.gunbroker.com/Support/SupportFAQView.asp?FAQID=1110&NoCount=1 [ 04-03-2006, 09:53 AM: Message edited by: tucker301 ]

He said he was using Winchester Xtended Range 3.5" #6 shot. That's 2 ounces of shot. http://www.winchester.com/news/newsview.aspx?storyid=98

dandy, The gun you purchased is closest to the M2. It's an excellent design, and will make a fine choice. Personally, I prefer the SBEII, for the way it disassembles and its ability to handle 3.5" shells. The variable geometry trigger release unit was mentioned on the Benelli Italy site. Orphanedcowboy, Sweden uses a currency called krona. Since I asked dandy to post the price in USD, he kindly did so.

You have the SBEII, correct? There are two plastic pieces. One with male pegs on both sides and one with holes. The one with the male pegs goes on first, with the shorter, more squared pegs fitting into the holes in the receiver. The on with the holes then slips on top of that one and mates to the stock. In this example, I'm using A and DX between the stock and receiver. Therefore, I will use the steel plate ADX on the butt end.

There are usually one or two of these on ebay.

Does this look right? Lat 45.020820° Lon -93.019060° And what was the date and time?

dandy, The M2 and SBE2 are American models. If your dealer sold you a SBE2, then he owes you at least an apology and probably a partial refund. I'd love to know what a "variable geometry trigger release unit" is. Any mention of it in the manuals? What did you pay, in USD?

It's a European model called simply, "Comfort". Hi Res Image Stats

The image must be hosted on a webserver. Use Photobucket, Hunt101 or a similar free service. When you upload the image to the server, you will be given a URL for the image. Use the URL as indicated below. On the SBEII, the top half of the receiver is mated to the barrel, making disassembly and cleaning extremely easy. The SBEII handles 3.5" shells, while the M2's maximum shell length is 3". There are other differences that have been explained numerous times here. Do a search for the term "vs".

Pictures?

Then try C.

Following the guide in the owner's manual, change the shims to raise the point of impact. Try the A shim first. I believe that will raise the POI. If possible, make the changes at the range where you can test the results immediately and re-adjust if needed. If you don't have your manual, you can download it from the customer service section of the Benelli website. [ 04-01-2006, 09:15 AM: Message edited by: tucker301 ]

There are different models within the Seal Pup line. Starting around $50 retail, but considereably cheaper on ebay and from discounters. I use a Buck folding ECCO for just about everything from skinning whitetails to breasting ducks.

Do you have the drop change shims?

That's pretty much how it works with a lot of duck blinds. Or at least with the ones we drive our boats to. The question was posed by a duck hunter. Don't assume everyone is turkey hunting and walking through the bushes. In pass shooting, the longer barrel gives a smoother swing and follow through, as well as making the target appear to be closer than it is. It's a matter of perspective, and the longer barrel changes the perspective to the advantage of the hunter. I use a 26" for waterfowl and turkeys. There are times when I'd like a 28" in the blind, but the 26" is a good all-around length for me. As others have stated, sight planes on semi-autos and pumps are longer due to the longer receivers. In fact, the sight plane on a 30" O/U and 28" semi-auto are about the same, with a slight advantage going to the semi-auto. http://americangundog.com/straightshooting.html [ 04-01-2006, 08:21 AM: Message edited by: tucker301 ]
