Really appreciate the vote of confidence on your part, not that I needed it anyway. Glad that I have finally found a great gun expert or should I say idiot to try and answer an honest question from an honest man. This question was never about my character or about whether or not I am trying to tell the truth; but about a gun that I paid hard earned money for, that is simply not working!
For your information, if you would like it, I took this gun back to the gun shop this morning, they shot it, and found the same thing out that I am trying to tell you. They called Benelli and it is on the way back to be fixed by a company who wants their guns to perform right for their customers!
Sorry for bothering you guys with any questions on this website about my benelli shotgun. I promise, that because of attitudes such as this one in the aforementioned post, I will never do it again. Matter of fact, my days on Bennelli forums are over!
Thank you so much for you wonderful driving away of a Benelli owner!
Have you checked the nut behind the gun?Let me first say that I don't believe you. The fact that you threw in the $1500 comment makes me think you are a troll.
The results you are talking about, with the chokes and shells you mention, at the range you mention, are unheard of.
My SBE II will put 130-170+ XR #6's in the 10" circle at 35 yards all day long with the .660 Jellyhead and the .660 1.5" Rhino .660. I don't even love this pattern. It drops down to 90-140 or so at 40 yards.
I think your Point of Impact does not match your Point of Aim.
Of course, to use just the head and neck test for patterns is stupid. You need to test the patterns at certain distances and then count the total in a 10" or 20" circle. Look at these targets for example. Head and neck is 40-70, but look at the total blend in the 10" circle. These are dead birds, even at 40 yards:
If you are at wit's end, you can always try testing with a large sheet of paper. Put a small dot in the middle and aim at that dot. Maybe your POI is off? You will not really know unless you try this test.
Good luck, I think you will need it

If you can only get 25 in the complete head and neck out to its outline I would say you have a problem
That is exactly what I am telling you. It is about 25 in the complete head and neck outline. And that was at MOST with the best shells. Most shells only gave me anywhere from 10 -15.
Hate to disagree with you guys; but I think I have a problem with my gun. I took it back to my dealer; but they basically said that there was nothing that they could do. Can I call Benelli myself and will they talk to me?

Scott...how is your gun shooting...meaning low or high...and how are you aiming it....are you aimming at the base of the target....?....Try number 6's Kents 3 inch Mag 1 3/4 ozs....i've takening Turkey out to 56 yards with theses...i'm shooting number 6's out of my SBE2 and its whacking the target....Honkers41
The gun is not shooting high or low, it is just spraying pellets everywhere. There is no consistency to the shot, whatsoever.

You did not say what range you are talking about or what you are calling a kill zone (THE SKULL, Spine and neck bone?) or a home made target..Or What?
My "kill zone" is from the top of the turkeys head all the way down to the base of his neck bone. It is a store bought target, one of the big ones. Actual shooting distance is 35 yards.

I think most of us would like to see fifty and a hundred shots in the neck and vitals but dont think its going to happen at 40 yards.
With a Nitro shell that boast to put over 200 pellets at 40 yards, yes, you should expect it. Have a buddy of mine, that has the same set up. Benelli SBE II, Primos Jellyhead choke tube and a Nitro shell and he is getting well over 150 at 40 yards. So, yes it is possible.

Guys, I am having a hard time and need some advice of some kind.
I have a Benelli Super Black Eagle II and have loved the guy so far. Shot doves and ducks with it this year and it shot like a dream. But, I have been trying my hardest to pattern choke tubes out of it for turkeys; but to no avail.
So far, I have shot a Primos Jellyhead, Rhino and a Kicks Gobblin Thunder out of it and both choke tubes have given me the same results. I am out of money with buying choke tubes and shells.
This is a list of shells that I have shot out of it......
Winchester Extended Range
Winchester Supreme
Kent
Nitro
Federal Premium (both regular and camo box)
Hevi Shot
My shoulder is sore and I have not found a shell that will pattern out of either choke. The most I am getting is about 25 pellets in a kill zone. But the average is around 15 I am sure that this will kill turkeys, but out of a $1500 gun, you would think that it would do better than this.
I saved my money this past year and traded a couple of guns for what I thought was my "dream gun" but I am not liking it too much right now!
So, any suggestions would greatly be appreciated. I am thinking about selling it or taking it and trading it on either a Browning or a Winchester SX 2 or 3.
Thanks,
Scott

Primos Jellyhead Choke Tube..............what shell have you found that shoots best with this choke tube and a SBEII?
-
yes, we got to start this morning. It was great fun! Hunted until about 9 this morning. Very hot here and didn't hunt this afternoon; but plan to be back on it Monday!

Like I said in an earlier post this week; bought a brand new Benelli Super Black Eagle II. Took it dove hunting this morning and killed 6 out of 8. We didn't have a good flying morning; but seemed like I had a good lead on everything that flew by me. My accuracy improved greatly! Thank you Benelli for making such a quality product!

Welcome, Safe shooting on Saturday. Remember to follow the "Break In" instructions, to save possible headaches.
Please enlighten me a little more on the "break in" instructions. Maybe I am missing something in the book; but I can't find anything that mentions it.

Just bought the Super Black Eagle II today. 24 inch, shooting either 2 3/4, 3 or 3 1/2 inch shells. Which choke would you guys use for dove? Haven't dove hunted a lot; but I am looking forward to shooting quite a bit this fall and was wondering what you guys might recommend.
Thanks,
Scott

Nope, didn't have all the answers........that is why I came here. Didn't call anybody wrong, just took beef to you attacking my credibility. You don't know me, you were not here when I shot the gun, therefore, you have no right to attack my credibility as to whether or not it is true or untrue.
As far as me ending up happy, I will. Thanks for the well wishes, I think?
As far as you not buying into my "story"......glad that you doing this or not doing this doesn't effect my life and my quest to getting the $1500 gun (oops, did I say that again?) to shoot right!
Best of luck to you and yours, as well.
