Islander Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Hello all, Been reading the forum for some time and really appreciate all the great info. My hunting buddy let me try his SBE II and I pulled the trigger and put one on hold at my local shop. It's a brand new SBE II with 26" bbls in camo. Here's my question..it's not a MAX-4 and not a Realtree APG but it looks like "break-up" pattern with a lot of green in it. I can't see this camo on Benelli site. Can someone clarify what camo is it? thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted July 22, 2010 Author Share Posted July 22, 2010 (edited) I think I found the answer..that camo is Realtree APG HD just like the one in here: gunsinternational.com/Benelli-Super-Black-Eagle-II.cfm?gun_id=100121400 Edited July 22, 2010 by Islander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hognutz Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Welcome to the forum, and to the world of Benelli. I'm sure you will be delighted with the SBE ll. I own one, and they really are a beautiful thing. Keep it clean and oiled, and it will not let you down. Enjoy...Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islander Posted September 17, 2010 Author Share Posted September 17, 2010 Got my new toy! I'm speechless:D She's a beauty. Quick question, I have a very small chip in my camo finish on the receiver..very hard to see. How should I care for it and will it be a big issue with a bit of metal exposed? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Go to Walmart or whatever and get a small bottle of flat enamel model paint in the appropriate color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One more question, When I try to take the barrel off, it's extremely tight. I almost have to put a lot of force/pressure. Is it normal? P.S. Top receiver is mated to the lower receiver correctly.

hattles Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 thanks for your help tucker. One more question, When I try to take the barrel off, it's extremely tight. I almost have to put a lot of force/pressure. Is it normal? P.S. Top receiver is mated to the lower receiver correctly. Welcome aboard. I would suspect that the camo finish would affect the already tight tolerances of the barrel fit. It'll wear in with use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Exactly as stated above. The camo film tightens up tolerances that were already closer than most makers to begin with. A film of light oil on those spots won't hurt a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fikester Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 My SBE II was also tight to remove barrel when it was brand new.....the paint will wear in that area with use. I used the Benelli to bring down a few squirells last week as well in MD.....love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
