i think at the time it was around $85.00 and it would have been the same for a field barrel. it was money well spent, the 1st year i hunted deer with it i missed dang near every deer i shot at and one time if it hadn't been for my saftey harness i would have been kicked clear out of my treestand!!! after the porting and switching slug brands i went 3 for 3 ........

on my SBE2 i was haveing trouble handleing the recoil and barrel jump with my 24" slug barrel shooting buckhammers out of it. what i did to tame the trouble was to have the barrel pro ported, then a sims recoil pad, and last but not least switched to lightfield slugs. so my point is differant things can be done to lesson the recoil feel of any gun.

on my SBE II i put a burris 3x9 rifle scope on it. then i use the rem. buckhammer slugs with that combo off the rest i'll get a 2" group at 100 yards. however off hand or out of my stand i had alot of muzzle jump trouble as in a post i made earlier in the week. i do plan on haveing my barrel angleported along with trying out a few other brands of slugs.

the problem is not the groups off a rest but when shooting off hand out of a treestand is when it becomes hard to control. with a fully rifled barrel i don't have the ported choke tube option. angleporting is $85.00 to have done. i've been in contact with them and i think thats the direction i'm headed.

mudhen....thank you for your reply. i really do like the buckhammer slugs but been thinking of trying others to help with my problem. in my 11-87 i have had 2 kills in the range of 125 yards and the rest of them were much closer. you're right about how they nock down about anything they hit. with the number of deer we have and the extra tags i can get i do alot of shooting each year and the cost of the buckhammer makes it a little more afordable to shoot over the other sobots on the market.

thank you tucker....as for hogwild the barrel it's the benelli made barrel wasn't aware of any aftermarket ones out there. it is fully riffled. when shooting from a rest at 100 yards it will shoot apx. 2" group. not sure what you meant by pattern???...as for being a seasoned shotgunner since my part of iowa has been a shotgun only i guess after 25 years of useing one i should be seasoned if i could figure out how to attach a pic. i'd let you make the call on my abilitys.

i have a SBE 2 with a slug barrel and scope. here's my problem. last deer season i was shooting 1.25 oz. rem. buck hammers (2 3/4") slugs. i was getting alot of muzzel jump from the gun and haveing trouble staying on target. i'm thinking of changeing to a sims recoil pad and haveing the barrel ported to try to tame it down some. anybody else ever have trouble getting use to there SBE 2's with slugs? i am far from a beginner when it comes to slug hunting however last year was the 1st year for my benelli, previous years have been with my 11-87 and a scope sighted hastings barrel. the gas action of that gun was nice but i really want to use the benelli with all the money i have in it i'd hate to leave it at home.......

i know i could take the back blade out of the sigt but does the whole ramp come off?? it's a very nice barrel and i don't want to mess it up

i have a set of med. i'm hoping they work i want to keep cheek down on stock as much as possable..it took me so long to get the barrel that i can't imagine how long it would take to get a new taller peice for my stock.......

i finally got me a slug barrel for my SBE II i'm planning on putting my 3x9 burris scope on it and was wondering if the bell will clear the rear sight blade. i would use a differant scope but this one is a very good scope and i would like to put it to use and not have to buy another one. anybody have any exspeirace with this???
