The SBE 3 does not shoot high, with exception, there were some very early build gun from 2017 that shot high. Everything beyond the few 2017's  shoot a great 60/40 pattern.  I have patterns from Multiple Rob Roberts SBE 3 Performance shop guns that verify great patterns 60/40.  These very same guns I laser sighted, they shoot exactly where they are pointed, again a near perfect 60/40 pattern vertical and perfect 50/50 side to side. The pellet counts are near perfect. I currently have 5 SBE 3's from the Performance Shop all documenting patterns as described.

I can not say with 100% accuracy what fitting components where changed in the design & assemble of the SBE 3.

I completely disagree with your contention that the SBE3 doesn't shoot high.  I have the 8 pattern targets shot at 20 yards last week using two different chokes and four brands of ammo that say otherwise.

Mike, all jokes aside, the only way to make a mechanical correction is to install a taller front site or an adjustable sight set like the gobble dot pro.  There is quite a grand debate on whether Benelli's have some inherent European sight picture bias or whether differences in POI is a manufacturing variance.  None of that really matters because if you feel your gun shoots high and you want it to shoot lower you'll either need to compensate or change the sights if aiming is required.

Thank you for your response.

Not the response I was looking for, but ok!

I just came back from the range from patterning my SBE3 that I purchased in September 2020.

I was shooting on a bench using a lead sled, sandbagged.  I aligned the mid bead with the muzzle bead and aimed at the middle of a 3 inch diameter bullseye on the target.

99.9% of my pellets were at the same level of the bullseye or higher.

This test was conducted at 20 yards using a Carlson Cremator LR choke and a Benelli Modified Choke.

I tried Winchester Super x, Hevi Steel, Score and Federal Speed Shok ammo.  All had the same results.

Now what?
