BlackDogs3 Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I have a new SBEII comfort tech 12 ga on layaway and I noticed that the recoil pad is the 14" LOP but the actual LOP is 14 3/8" (actually I measure it at 14 1/4"). I contacted Benelli, and was informed that the most recent versions of the SBEII comfort tech have a lengthened stock so that folks wanting a LOP longer than 14 3/8" can be accommodated. I have already purchased a 13 1/2" LOP pad to use on my Super Sport 20 ga. My question is: How bad is the recoil shooting 3.5" shells with the SBEII using the 13.5" recoil pad?

I wanted this clarified. So the 14" LOP recoil pad is standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOGWILD Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 (edited) recoil is bad with all most all guns with a 3.5 " shell, get used to it! If you are recoil sensitive go with the 3 " shell just use ammo and chokes to compensate! you bought wrong shotgun if you can't handle some recoil!

BlackDogs3 Posted January 17, 2009 Author Share Posted January 17, 2009 My new SBEII definitely came stock with a 14" LOP recoil pad, but the LOP is 14 3/8". With at least some of the new SBEII, you will have a 14 3/4" LOP if you use the 14 3/8 gel pad. The website does not say a thing about it. I had to wait (and wait, and wait) for a live person by phone to get the info about the "new" LOP on the latest batch of SBEII. To reiterate my question, has anyone compared the recoil using a 14" LOP pad to a 13.5" LOP pad. Is there much of a difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
