[Installing a scope on SBE3]

I got er done with little pain. The scope is the Nikon as mentioned above on sale and $24 set of weaver quad lock rings took 2 minutes to put together.

The next problem is to find a 28ga auto to turn in to my go to turkey gun that won't break the bank. the SBE3 is a little heavy for runnin and gunnin ?

[Installing a scope on SBE3]

I have decided to cheap out. I had choices of $100++++  rings and $13 weaver quad lock...I'll be picking up the weavers today from Dicks.

 

As to how it'll affect the mechanics of the SBE3, I for one am not qualified to judge, But if it blows up in my face, I'll get back to you.....

Steve: The scope is a Nikon ProStaff 5 2.5-10×40. Use inexpensive 1" rings?

Remarkable: Good point. As it will be used only for is turkey, I'm guessing only 1 or 2 shots fired each hunt, six total for the season, preferably only 3

 

[Installing a scope on SBE3]

I put a red dot on my SBE3 for turkey season. I came to find that at my age 66 I can't see squat.

So I have decided to put a scope on for next year, but I am trying to figure out the best way.

I do have the weaver rail installed. I assume that simple rings (1") on the weaver should work fine.

So the question is...Do I need low, medium or tall? and what dictates the correct choice.

 

Thanks again.

Called Benelli...They are plastic caps...pull off barrel, use punch from underneath.

Support guy said I would be surprised how many people call on that. Maybe now it'll show up on a google search.

Maybe Benelli will put it in a manual sometime. ?

I see the 4 indents for the screw locations. I scratched some paint off one looking for a screw driver slot, nothing. Then I thought it might just be a cap that needs popping, that didn't work either.

So do I have to drill them out and tap?

 

thanks

I knew it had to be as simple as that. New to this game, probably won't be the last stupid question!!

[Adjusting Rear sight]

The SBE3 manual shows an adjustable rear sight. Mine does not have one and most of the pictures I have seen don't show one. Or am I mistaken?

For now I have decided  to get a TruGlo Universal Fast Turkey Sight for now...do I need an adapter?

 

Thanks
