tucker, I think you hit it on the head. The Italian gun's are made that way. I spoke with someone from Benelli and they told me Benelli's are set up to shoot 60/40. You should be able to see the target completly when shooting. I have had my gun for 2 season's now and have missed more bird's then ever. Very hard switching from an 1187 to this gun. It is a way of shooting I have tried to get used to but still having a hard time getting it down.
Honkers, it's pretty high! About 8-10 inches higher then my Remington. All standard crio-chokes, improved cylinder, modified both shot high! The 25-30 yard range is what I am patterning at. Shooting all different steel. Mostly Federal's Ultra-Shock #4's,2's,BB's. And yes I have already shimmed it. Still shoot's high. I may end up taking it to a gunsmith. Thank's for the info.
BoJack, go away
My SBEII shoot's too high for me. I have adjusted the shim's provided by Benelli, tried a different larger front bead and still the gun shoot's high. I know alot of you guy's will say that is what you want and that it what it's supposed to do, but it's just not working for me. I have shot Remington my whole life and it's very very hard for me now tryin to get used to aiming at the tail of a duck as he is cupping in, instead of putting the bead on his bill and shooting! I have talked with Briley and I may have to send my barrel to them so they can make some eccentric choke tubes for me which will change my point of impact. Please let me know if any of you guy's have had this issue or how you may have dealt with it. Thank's!
