tucker301 Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 The 28" barrel would be 2 inches longer than the 26". The SBEII comes with a hard case, 5 choke tubes in plastic holders, choke wrench, stock shims, manual, parts list, warranty information, and a small bottle of Benelli oil. There are 5 dealers within 100 miles of Bakersfield. I'd check with them all before ordering from a non-stocking dealer.

Be sure to factor transfer fees, possible taxes, and shipping into the total cost.

Waylon Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Tucker, you have the "cool" choke tube wrench. I got the crappy nonfunctional one, just like the one that came with my Nova. What gives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 That's not a picture of my SBEII, it's just I found useful for this question. Mine came with the stamped metal wrench too. I bought a cool one a few months ago. I think all of the newer guns come with the good wrench now. I guess that would be one way of telling how long the dealer has had it in stock.

heavy4x4 Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 My SBE I bought several months back also came with two different shims for adjusting comb height and LOP...not sure if those are still included. Oh, and I got the cool choke tube as pictured Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butch-M Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 While the 28 inch barrel will pattern almost identically to the 26" barrel, I think most guys like the 26" better. Rumor has it that longer barrels swing a little better, on ducks & geese for instance; something about sight plane & balance ... but the shorter 26" barrel seems to handle a little better. Responds quicker and is a bit easier in tight spaces. Personally ... I have a 28" barrel and it feels a bit long on the SBEII platform ... not a big deal, but if I had it to do over, would go for the 26" If you're really torn over barrel length, find one of those 5 dealers who has the guns and try shouldering both barrel lengths ... see which one you like better. Otherwise, I think the 26" is a good choice. Great gun by the way! Butch-M Be forewarned ... ordering something from Benelli MIGHT take an inordinate amount of time to receive. I waited 5 months for my 28" barrel; and I've heard of a lot longer waits than that. It will be much safer to purchase out of dealer stock.
