Are those steel slugs? or Heavy Shot slugs?

Will there be another anniversary edition of the SBE like the 10th year anniversary? and if so when?

Benelli customer service has always been very helpful to me. They are very professional and I have always had good luck on both ocasions. I have the HK SBE and I can shoot the lights out. I hate to hear that you're not enjoying your gun. Good luck man.

I will be using the new gun for upland birds, I think I'm going to try the 26 inch barrel. With enough practice I'm sure I can shoot the new Benelli as well as my HK SBE.

I'm really glad you had a good experience. I often wonder if what happened to you is the typical thing that happens. I can only hope so.

I think that you're both correct. Getting additional sight plane is about it. I thought that some one may try to tell me that a longer barrel may give you faster velocities or even that it may give you better/different patterns at longer ranges. I suppose that neither are true. In the duck blind, I do not like to hunt with guys that use barrels shorter than 28 inches. The reason is that the shorter barrels and ported barrels can ring your ears. I realize you might be thinking I need to wear hearing protection and I do, but I have been rung by more 26 and shorter guns than I have 28 or longer. Thanks guys for your replies.

I've got the new gun bug really bad. Most all of my shotguns hav a 28 inch barrel. I understand that 26 inch barresl may be a little lighter and allow the shooter to get on target quicker. What are positives of the 30 inch barrel over shorter barrels? Maybe I should get the new Super Sport II in 30 inches

I have a H&K Benelli. It is just older than the ones that are not labeled H&K. There are no real differences. H&K just wqas the first to import the Benelli in America.
