MD, No need for a cantilever mount. The barrel on your SBE2 is the receiver and the scope mount. If you find an SBE2 slug barrel for your gun, it'll be rifled and the rear of the barrel/receiver will already drilled and tapped to mount a scope. Again, no need for a cantilever mount. Plus, the factory slug barrels have iron sights.
The ER Shaw barrels for the SBE are rifled. My SBE and ER Shaw are plenty accurate for me. 1 1/2" - 2" groups w/Federal Barnes ammo.
Best of luck!

As with all guns, you have to remove all possible variables. Try different slugs; shotguns are notorious for being finicky about liking one brand of slug and not liking another. Be sure to pull the gun in tight to your shoulder and lean forward into each shot with all your slugs.
Can't emphasize it enough, the shooter has a tremendous effect on accuracy with a shotgun; as in squeezing the trigger and following through on the shot. Target shooting with slugs is real punishment. It takes real effort to do all the little things like keeping the sights aligned and on target, breathing, and squeezing the shot off. All in knowing that the gun is gonna beat the snot out of you every time you pull the trigger. If your gun is grouping tightly at 25 yds, sporadic groups at 50 yds are probably the result of shooter induced error.
Google up Hickok 45 on Youtube. He routinely hits with slugs and a just bead sight at 80 yds. You and your gun are fully capable of doing the same thing and likely better... With good practice. Best of luck!

With all sincerity, If you are missing a deer at 25 yds with your 18.5 inch barrel, a longer barrel won't be of much help. Plenty of short barreled guns are accurately shot at 100 yds and longer.
Practice, practice and practice. Without seeing you shoot, can't offer anything more than plenty of GOOD practice. I've seen plenty of shooters jerk the trigger at 25 yds and less and miss a target completely. Learn to squeeze the trigger and follow through on the shot. Best of luck to you!

I think mine is silver soldered, brazed, or welded on. Don't see any means for threading.
-
I'm pretty sure the sbe2 and m2 stock won't fit an hk-sbe. Look for sbe or m1 stocks, they should work.
Don't know if the fore ends are interchangeable or not... Sorry.
-
There are enough 14" Benelli barrels floating around that I wouldn't cut a perfectly good barrel. You can often find them on Gun Broker and sometimes here. Best of luck!

If you're thinking of using reduced recoil loads in your M1, you might want to try some before you show up at class. Inertia driven guns need recoil to operate. Reduced recoil slugs won't cycle the action in my SBE.
Good luck at class. Don't forget to post a review for the rest of us.

Don't think SBEII stocks will fit on an SBE.
-
On my SBE slug gun, the barrel, receiver, and scope are all mounted together as one. Doesn't get any better than that!
-
Shaw made slug barrels for Benelli. They also made several versions; sights/no sights, 1:28", 1:36".
My SBE has a no sight, 1:28", very accurate.
Best of luck with yours.

Go out and shoot several hundred rounds through it before you decide to tweek the trigger. Wouldn't be the first time a trigger got a bit smoother after use.
Best of luck!

Thanks Bear!

If things don't work out with KB, I'll take it.

Don't know if this applies to your SBE, but there are triggers known as "release triggers" that sporting clays/trap shooters will have installed in their guns. Pulling the trigger will set the trigger; releasing it will fire. Supposed to help overcome jerking the trigger...
It would be the first time I ever heard of one of these on an SBE, but ya never know...
-
Not silly, asked the same thing awhile back...
-
...The problem is that the sites are lower than the muzzle break (it came from the factory like this)??...
Not a problem at all, you line up the sights as usual; equal height, equal light. Then aim "through" the muzzle break as if it wasn't there.
Guys that shoot pistols with suppressors do this all the time.
Best of luck!!!

Sounds like an ammo issue to me as well. Simple enough to troubleshoot, load up with a mag or two of heavy ammo and see what happens.
When I try to run reduced recoil slugs through my SBE Slug gun, I get the same results. Fires, ejects, bolt forward on an empty chamber.
Best of luck!!!
-
I built up the comb on my SBE up with two sided tape and pipe insulation foam. Covered it with a strap on ammo pouch with a suede cheek weld. That built it up by about 3/4". Best of luck to you!

Shot a few low recoil slugs yesterday to check the scope alignment on my SBE. All of them extracted and ejected, but had failure to feed issues and failure to lock bolt back upon empty. The gun has been flawless up until now, so I'm assuming these problems are due to the reduced inertia of the ammo and not gun related. Am I correct in that assumption? Thanks!
Weather was too crappy to follow up with some full power loads. Hafta wait till it clears up a bit... Yeah, I'm a fair weather shooter...
BTW, those low recoil slugs were showing signs of fairly decent accuracy, was pleasantly surprised.

Congrats!!! The M1S90 is on my wish list too! Please post a range report when ya get the chance.

I like the Vicker's line of slings. Have them on just about all my shotguns.
-
Is there an M4 that comes as a fixed choke, IC or Mod? Or do they all come with choke tubes? Thanks!
-
M1014, `Tis a sickness isn't it? To appreciate the finer things in life.
You're a lucky fellow indeed!
-
Picked up an M4 out of a rack and held onto it for a few minutes last night. Oh my...
I'm gonna hafta be really, really good this year.
Or, very, very bad.
Will SBE1 slug barrell fit on an SBE2 - acuracy?
in Benelli

MD, Bought my SBE through Gunbroker; it came with a field barrel and the ER Shaw barrel. If you have an SBE2, I'd search for a factory barrel. Probably easier to find a Benelli factory slug barrel for your SBE2 and it will be just as accurate as a Shaw.
Don't forget that for distances of 50-75 yds, your smoothbore barrel with a simple bead sight and regular old rifled slugs will take deer all day long.
