Thanks for the info Oldflick, What kind of groups are you able to get at 100,150 or 200 yards? Given the times, I'm trying to simplify my gun safe/inventory and combine as much as possible i.e. slug/duck gun, 257R deer/varmints…hence my interest in the SBE ll. In your opinion how would it match up to fixed barreled 870 or the Deer-Slayer ll (also fixed barreled) Cheers, Hardcut

Hello folks, I'm planning on getting a new SBEll slug w/ an extra barrel for birds. As the scope is mounted to the barrel extension, I'm hoping that I can swap out barrels and not lose zero. I have been told, however, that although the scope/recervier is fixed to the barrel, I still will have to resight in the gun. Any one have thoughts on this or experience that says otherwise? Thanks hardcut

thanks OLD FLICK, I'll start there. HC

Thanks Tucker. But you break my heart. 11-87 vs. SBE ll; no difference in slug accuracy... I was hoping that the extra $1000.00 would make all the difference. Looks like a dream with ducks and geese though. I was told that the camo was worth it only in that it helped resist rust and such. But another fellow says that it’s porous and doesn’t make any difference. Any thoughts? Much obliged, HC

Hello folks, I'm new to the forum. It's been a pleasure browsing the Site. I've learned a great deal. Could use some advice. I've put some money down on a SBE ll Slug gun. (black matte, includes Burris Scope.) I'm hopping to find an extra barrel, 26" smooth bore, and make it my all things except upland, shotgun. 1. Any suggestions on where to find an extra barrel? Other than the obvious concerns of condition, are their any issues I should know about when looking for extra barrels? 2.Is the SBEll Slug gun's action and stock the same as the ones orignally set up for birds. 3. Could I swap out the bolt spring to shoot lighter loads? (less than 3dram). Is the bolt spring easy to change? 4. Accuracy. In your experience, how better is the SBE ll over the 11-87 w/ cantalever? Assuming both are using the brand of slugs they like. 4. I don't have much experience with water-foul or deer hunting. How much of a handicap will I create to the other hunters in the blind for not having a camo shotgun? I appriciate any advice you might have. Thank you HC
