hardcorewaterfowler Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 been wanting a sbe 2 for sometime., and probably will get it this weekend.,how good of a gun are they, do they live up to the hype. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 They are VERY good. Mine has performed flawlessly for 4 seasons now. Obviously, on a site such as this, there will be posts by people who have had problems with their guns in one form or another, but I have nothing but positive experiences with Benelli. My SBEII has needed nothing, but I had a R1 rifle that gave me some trouble. Benelli CS worked with me professionally and courteously to correct the problems.

goose2 Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Get one and never look back. Keep it clean and lubed in the right places with the right amount and your good to go. I learned the hard way. I use to never lube mine anywhere and once in a while you would get the Benelli click. I lube it now and it seems to be very good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAVE GUN WILL TRAVEL Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I've had my SBEII for 11 years and it's has taken alot of abuse! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webfoot Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 My has not been flawless but we're getting there. Took me a few misfeeds to figure out it did not like winchesters of any kind. Since then she's been perfect. I love the way it shoulders and points. Almost as nice as my sweet 16... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOGWILD Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Mine shoots all Winchesters & Hevi-shot of just about any load and since 2003 it has never missed a lick or caused me any grief. It will go BOOM BOOM BOOM and that's just what The Preacher ordered! Best shotgun i have ever shot:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRgeese Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 I looked at this site for some time before I bought mine, looking at all people had to say, good, bad and I will sayI am very pleased with mine, I know it can go in the lake get covered with muck, weeds and it fired all three rounds with no problems, just dont let it happen under the freezing point.
