Fixed choke, Cylinder. It's right there in the specs. http://www.benelliusa.com/firearms/defense-specs.tpl $290 - $325

Hopefully, you live alone and in an isolated area with no nearby neighbors.

Drop is two different measurements, drop at comb and drop at heel. Technically, this measurement is taken by placing an imaginary line through the centerline of sight and measuring from the line to a point at the top of the front of the comb which is drop at comb; and a point at the top of the butt plate or heel which is drop at heel. Some people simply make this determination by placing a straight edge on top of the receiver and making the measurements.

The poll allows you to vote for either or both. Methinks my bipolar vote has cast a murky tint upon the results.

Bingo!

I (we) voted for both. Inner conflict is tough at times lke this.

Easy there, EFLOYD! I didn't mention the Bam part. Don't do any lasting damage. Last thing we need is another crazyhiar

Dude, Spring is just 3 days old

Drundel, That's some darned good outdoor storytelling there, amigo! I'll be looking for you in Outdoor Life soon I cannot imagine duck hunting in weather that warm! Around here, when it's above 50, the ducks disappear into what we presume to be another dimension of space and time. Great pics! Great story!

Now, I KNOW you don't mean that Exhibit A

You making an offer? She shoots very well. At least she did before she had to go away for a while. I'm hoping for decent weather this weekend. [ 03-23-2005, 07:18 PM: Message edited by: tucker301 ]

I suppose if you were REALLY interested, you might wander over to Federal's website and have a look. /assuming you have internet

November - On my second day of hunting, her stock cracked like thin ice under a heavy Canuck. I was not a happy camper. Called CS and they promised to send me out a replacement ASAP. Received the replacement and it looked like mahogany compared to my blonde walnut forearm. Called CS again and we agreed that I'd finish out the season and then send in the whole rifle. Benelli's talented gunsmiths would match a new stock up to my forearm, do a few other requested tweaks, and send her back. She left me in early January..... A couple of weeks ago, I got her back. It was like Christmas morning!! /and I got a pair of socks The new stock was close in color, but was much more glossy than the forearm. Called CS again and spoke with an angel named Paula. Paula apologized on behalf of the whitecane gunsmith who had attempted the first matchup, and she promised it would be done right this time. I sent directly to Paula my stock and forearm. She called a few days later and left a message stating that she had received the shipment and that she, and others in the department, agreed that the mismatch was unacceptable. Today, I got the two parts back. It's as if they were born of the same tree A heartfelt THANKS to Paula and to everyone in CS who has worked hard to insure my satisfaction.

How did this turn into a serious thread??? /shakes head /goes to fridge for beer

I had a Nova in the camo finish and I found the finish to be not very durable. It was easier to scratch and chip than bluing or parkerized finishes. For cleaning use a damp cloth. I didn't notice any fingerprints on mine. I'm not knocking the cam finishes. I think they're great if that's what you want. Just be aware that the finish will scratch and will chip off under what I consider to be normal use. This in no way affects the ability of the gun to perform and it doesn't diminish the life expectancy of the weapon.

I'd say that the warranty for the modified and associated part(s) is voided. I can't see this affecting a warranty claim against a cracked stock or a loose recoil pad. /my 2 cents /Benelli may disagree

If you really want a SBEII, you MAY be able to import one via a licensed export dealer in the US. See this discussion from a couple of weeks ago. http://www.benelliusa.com/forums/ultimatebb.php/topic/1/1504.html#000000 The older SBE is still a very fine gun, however be aware that these guns are designed for use with 3 drams / 1-1/8 oz. loads minimum.

The SBEII is the only one of the lot to handle 3.5" shells. Both the SBEII and the M2 have the crio barrels. Take a close look at the receivers and you will see that the barrel on the SBEII extends to make the top half of the receiver. This is a welcomed feature at cleaning time. In fit and feel, you'll find the SBEII and the M2 to be nearly identincal, with their ComforTech stocks and shorter forearms. The Monte's lines are more traditional. Also please note that the SBEII and M2 come with sling mounts (a consideration for any turkey hunter), while the Montefeltro does not. The '05 model SBEII's come pre drilled and tapped for scope mounts (Weaver #93). The Monte doesn't, and I don't think the M2 does either. Both the SBEII and M2 are available with SteadyGrip stocks. Although it may be difficult and expensive to find an extra SteadyGrip for either right now, they should be an available accessory in a year or two. ALL of these guns are LIGHT, and they will be a pleasure to carry, but will definitely deliver a blow to the shoulder under heavier loads. I notice the recoil on the bench when shooting paper turkeys, but when I'm shooting geese with 3.5" hevi-shot, it feels like a 20 ga. [ 03-20-2005, 10:22 PM: Message edited by: tucker301 ]
