skhunter Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Does anyone know why Benelli's come with a .723 diameter barrel, where as, a Browning comes with a .743? Remington has a .740 and Beretta has a .733. Does this under-boring produce better patterns? This would mean a cylinder choked Benelli is equivilent to an improved choked Beretta. Or a modified choked Remington. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudhen Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 The standard reply I have been given for the past 20 years by anyone at Benelli about the .723 bore (btw, I have had Benellis from .718 - .724) has been "so the gun will work". The gist is that inertia guns need smaller bores. This is what I have been told over the years. My personal opinion is that under-bored barrels pattern small pellet loads well, but as the pellet size goes up, back-bored/over-bored barrels start to pattern better. I tend to shoot smaller pellet loads in my Benellis and larger pellet loads in my Brownings. Just my take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splashtx556ftw Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 its also kind of a cheat.your comparing a modified benelli against a modified remington. the benelli is acually considered an improved modified. its like getting in a car race and telling your opponent you have 300hp, when you in fact have 500hp. at least thats how i see it.
