Red Mule

JakeK9, great idea, had one on the reloading bench that I took off the other sbe when it didn't work out on that gun but centered the pattern right up on this one. I had thought of doing something similar to this by making the rib flat all the way out using a piece of aluminum and then super gluing it to the existing rib. might still do it. still no sense in $1500 gun not hitting where its pointed. if it was built for trap shooting then thats what it should be advertised as. I'd like to have a choice of ribs on these guns even if you had to send barrel back to have it changed.

Thank you for calculations JJ Mac. that would be right on target with my results from patterning. where do you like for your shotgun pattern to hit at? where you are pointing? or 9.6" high? I kinda like it where I'm pointing.

has anyone tried to get with benelli and exchange barrels? I think if I could get the lower rib like the one on my older sbe the new one would work out.

Tucker 301 the ****ed shame is that it doesn't hit where its supposed too. hows that for your silly aptitude test.

They wasn't going to do anything about because she couldn't, there wasn't a "D" shim made for that gun yet and benelli had no plans to make one for it either. I'm not gonna sue anyone, But it really irks me to spend that much for something and it not work as it should. I mean thats 1500 dollars. If someone has gotten a better idea then please speak up. but if it don't work out then I'll keep using my other sbe and try to get rid of this one but a person will never get his money back. You don't how they are going to shoot until you pull them out of the box and run a couple rounds through it. the dealer can't hardly give my money back how is he going to sell a new gun thats been shot? The manufacturer won't help him out I'm sure of that before we even get started. I'm not into holdin low or high or right or left to make it hit where you're pointing. for that kinda money it should hit exactly where you're pointing no exceptions. I have several other nice shotguns but really like the feel of this new sbe II. All my other shotguns hit where they are pointed and this one should too. sdkidaho, you are right about the suing issue. I shouldn't have even brought it up but when your mad and upset about something like this a customer service dept should at least go to bat for you the consumer. thats pretty much their jobs. correct?

Glassman, I just bought one today and I am having the same problem. there isn't any use to sit on hold waiting for a woman to answer cause they'll just tell you that there is nothing they can do about it and and your stuck with a $1500 gun that won't hit where its supposed to. I have an older sbe with the lower vent rib and had to go to the opposite end of the spectrum and add a piece of leather onto the stock to get my cheek up off of it enough. but it hits dead on. I don't know yet what I'm gonna do about this but if the manufacturer can't assist me with the problem maybe they can assist my lawyer with his( which is me raising cain because a manufacturer can't fix a problem that other people besides me are havin with their products.)
