Did you think about get a b-square saddle mount for your 870 so you can just pull it off the gun with your scope attached and then just insert trigger pins and put a bird barrel back on. I have this setup on my 870 and I only test fire 1 shell each year with slug to verify scope is still on and I have never had it move yet. Just a thought.

I just patterned my SBE II with the kicks gt .665 at 30 yards, 34 degrees. I tried 5 different types of loads all 3 inch and the best I got was 169 hits in ten in circle with winchester supreme extended range turkey #6 shot. That's alot better than the factory full choke did. Hope this helps.
I have a SBE II i just bought and was wondering 2 things.
Am I right that the barrel is chromed? And if so is it a good idea to polish the inside of the barrel with jb bore cleaner and bore polish to improve the pattern?
Thanks

Hi everyone. Scott here in central illinois. Finally bought a new SBE II and took it out today and put a box of 2 3/4 just to get to know the gun and break it in a little. WOW it's nice! Can't wait to get out and start patterning it for turkeys and shoot some trap with it. Just want to say hello to everyone!!
