Benelli Super BlackEagle 2 vs. Beretta Extrema 2

[duckht183]

Both of these shotguns are great, there are thing I like about each one and there are also things I dont like. I would like to know what you guys think is the better of these two shotguns and why.

[tucker301]

I like the Super Black Eagle II.

It's not much better than the Xtrema2, but Extrema2 shooters are decidedly... how should I put this... ummmm... flamboyant.

You know, decorating and such.

Haha yeah I know you mean, I duck hunt with 2 guys who shoot the Extrema 2 and they cant stop talking about that damn thing. Too bad they cant shoot anything with it

I just bought a SBEII back in October and so far love it. I did have a problem with it firing for only about 10 min. I had to get the ice unthawed enough to get the bolt to move and firing pin to go foward to touch off the shell, (I fell in the lake and the gun followed me in, on a 19 degree morning duck hunt:eek:) Ha ha,. but I can tell you the look on my buddies face when he said (just after I climbed out of the water) lets see if the ad is right and that gun can shoot after being in the bootom of the lake, muck and weeds still on it, I pulled the trigger and fired 3 round with no problems was great (the frozen part did not happen for another 10min's), but the worst part, the only ducks that came into the decoys was while I was thawing out the gun.

That sounds like one of my buddys stories where he fell into the pond sending my mojo duck to the bottom and filling his waders half full with water but he didnt want to go in and change because he didnt want to miss the early morning shoot:D He missed the mallards cause he couldnt feel his legs in order to stand up.

Oh I know, that water was an eye opener:eek:. my buddy asked if I wanted to go in and I told him no, the hunting was too good the morning before.(but the lake was not froze over the day before either) but after 2 hrs of being chilled it was time to call it a day.

[duckht183]

Yeah my buddy was lookin like an idiot too because he was practically drowning but he was holding his new Extrema 2 up in the air cause he didnt want to get it wet. My dad had to grab his ass by the waders and pull him up.

I have a SBE2 and I love it, very versatile and user friendly for someone who's never owned a semi-auto like myself

[DU4ME2]

Love my SBEII.. Had it for 2 seasons and not a flaw...........

[strenfro]

I have an SBE II and my dad has an Extrema 2. I cannot tell much difference between the guns. Personally, I prefer the SBE II because of the way it feels. To me the Extrema 2 is more bulky, whereas the SBE seems lighter and slimmer mostly because of the inertia system vs. the gas operated Extrema 2.

 

I also fell in the pond and half-filled my waders this year, however, I did not manage to get to fire a shot like ya'll did! The birds weren't flying well that day.

If you "unthaw" something, did you not freeze it ? If you thaw a steak it becomes un-frozen
