  1. I've owned a SBE I for ~3 1/2 years and for the most part it has always seemed to pattern well, however, this spring I began to closely analyze my patterns and there is definitely a trend showing with higher densities of shot on the left side of the targets. It appears that if my POA was moved right about 3-4", I would have a much higher density of shots in the 5" ring and in the 10" ring. I have shot a couple different shell types through it with similar results. I typically shoot (pattern) it with a hot load 3 1/2" Heavy Shot shell made by Nitro Company, however I've also recently tried the new Winchester 3 1/2" High Density shells with the same results. Can I adjust the POA to the right? Is there a problem with the barrel? Any ideas? Suggestions?
  2. After 12 years with a Remington 11-87, I picked up a SBE and fell in love with it! I had to have one and paid the $1k+ to get it. No regrets...none! It is the last shotgun I'll own. I've shot lightweight 2 3/4" and heavy 3 1/2" shot thru it without issue. The only modification I've made is adding a SIMS Limbsaver recoil pad to the butt stock. It was well worth the $30. It's a real workhorse and I'm going to do my best to wear it out. Go buy it, but, save up the cash so you can truly enjoy 'owning' it.
