  1. I am right eye dominant. of course i have looked at my choke tube and barrel so much i am now almost cross eyed dominant! lol
  2. Tucker i got my gun back from benelli with no phone call and not fixed. i cant beleive they wont stand behind their product. they was even to call me back with the testing they did after i sent them my lower reciever. does anyone know what they mean by "within specs" does that mean that they are shooting it @ 5 yards from the barrel for testing and not @ real world conditions like @ over 25 yards for hunting. unreal, i will no longer BRAG about my sbe and how well it shoots. i will just have to tell everyone that it shoots to the right and beneeli had it TWICE without fixing it. never again will i buy a benelli without having to shoot the peice of shot first.
  3. braunster Amen to that ! I have 9 ITHACA,S My deer slay 87 fixed rifled barrel is the most accurate slug gun around. I shot last years buck in the neck @ 139 yards using lightfields. I also have a waterfowler with the very rare quad bore forcning cones. almost made production for a year before they decided it was to costly to make. Those will be worth a bundle. if i won the lottery i would buy Ithaca and move it to central indiana. Very good quality guns. better quality than my SBE whose choke tubes are installed wrong and i am getting the runaround from benelli cusstomer sevice. None of my Ithaca,s have ever failed me. Never! how many benelli,s have hung up and didnt get a 2nd shot because of reliability problems in the field? My sbe didnt have may problems but i have seen others whose guns are kept cleaner not shoot well. Besides, Ithaca was made here in the usa and if you dont own one you are missing an awsome gun. I am looking for a deluxe 16 gauge classic. one that is only aprox 2 years old. i think the newer ones look better and are made better that the older ones. just my .02$ BRICE I am simply amazed by the lack of knowledge of many persons who respond to this site. The Ithaca Model 37 Police Shotgun was simply the finest of its kind, used by more police departments around the world than any other. All steel parts, put together by hand; it was a testament to American craftsmanship and served both our GI's (in numerous wars and as late as Vietnam where they were used by Navy Seals as their preferred gun) and our boys in blue for over 75 years. The shotgun had unique features such as ambi ejection and the fewest moving parts of any tactical shotgun. Simply stated, any person who has never owned one or never shot one has no business dissing this great name in American gunmaking. Besides, this is just one more victory for the antis. Don't you think Chuck Shumer isn't giving Sarah Brady a high five right now? For you folks out there, Mossbergs 500s are crap, Winchester 1300s are garbage, and Remingtons are simply OK in comparison to this police shotgun. The company's homeland defense 20" self-defense version (issued in 2000) was simply a masterpiece and I own two of them and would stake my life on them. Uninformed people simply have no business commenting on this site. This is a huge loss for us all and should be mourned.
  4. Tucker I have had 2 cousins shoot this besides my sel. The turkey loads were so severe from the bench we started using the doveloads for the point of aim reference. all of us shot to the right no matter what we shot or who was doing the shooting. all of this was off of a bench with a forearm support and held snug. with the factory full choke it still shoots to the right. ic and mod is so open you can tell it does lean to the right a little, but for obvious reasons thats not much of a factor for doves. it really puzzles me that i can and the gun store whom i purchased the sbe from can see that the choke tube is canted to the right. yet benelli cs is telling me that its a mating problem. confused in indiana?

  5. Any body have problems with their sbe shotting to the right? i bought 1 about 4 years ago with the 28" barrel and 2 years ago bought a 24" barrel for turkey hunting. the turkey choke tube is a kicks and shot straight at 40 yards. the 24" has the kicks choke tube angled to the right. enough you can see it with the naked eye. shoots 3 to 4" to the right @ 25 yards. Sent the 24" back to benelli and they said it is "within their specs". ????? After this turkey season i sen the barrel back and know i have to send the reciever to make sure there is not a mating problem between the gun and barrel. ??? i have had this 24" barrel on 2 other sbe and all have shot to the right. I am not stupid, seems i am getting the runaround. Can the threads be fixed in the 24" barrel be fixed or not? I hope so, or i might have to sell this gun and buy another. Ever wake up @ nite and hear geese talk?
  6. HUNTER JOE call and talk to DANNY OVERMYER @ 574-267-3891 tell him you want the sbe tactical stock for sbe/m1. he will help you out.
