Finndog Posted March 16, 2005 Posted March 16, 2005 Just recieved my first Benelli, a new 05 Monte. Is there recomended cleaning/prep that I should do before taking out? Quote
tucker301 Posted March 16, 2005 Posted March 16, 2005 Read and follow instructions in the Owner's Manual. Quote
Finndog Posted March 17, 2005 Author Posted March 17, 2005 I asked because with other manufacturers gun owners they have had suggestions not mentioned or covered in the manuals. I guess Benelli has thought of everything! That's incredible, now they just have to fix their website. Quote
EFLOYD Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 I shoot my SBEII dry....slightly lubed. Does fine that way. I broke mine in with four boxes of low power ammo rather than high power/high priced....and it's never jammed. Also, cleaned it good straight outta the box. Though I don't have 'monte', I suggest you experiment with it a little and see what works for you. Like my truck, it calls for a certain weight oil.....but of course we all have our suggestions on brand, etc. Play with it. Also, funny your #2 post on this website would be one that bashed Benelli..... Okay tucker301, he's yours now....I don't think the upper crust rule applies here.

mudhen Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 This website is not a substitute for their instruction manual and/or customer service department. If you want to glean useful info from this website, read all the old posts and/or use the search feature for cleaning advice. Page 16 & 17 of my SBE II manual covers all I will ever need to know about trouble shooting, breaking in, ammunition, and maintenance. Pretty much common sense.... mudhen - CA Quote

I've been taking the scraps all my life. Not a problem. Finndog, If you don't like Benelli, don't buy Benelli. Since you already bought a Benelli, see if someone will trade you even for a Mossberg or some other brand with a pretty website. [ 03-17-2005, 12:24 PM: Message edited by: tucker301 ] Quote
