tangy003 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 (edited) I have a question.Having recently(2weeks ago) received my SBE II and reading about the "break in"and reading about how some are having cycling problems.Is that condition inherent to All Benelli shotguns?The reason I ask is that as soon as I assembled mine right out of the box,I tried clay loads and the gun worked perfect.Then I mixed and matched the following:3-1/2" nitro mags,3" turkey loads and Winchester pheasant loads along with the Clay target loads.I fed my SBE II everything and anything in any and all combinations of shells and my gun never skipped a beat.Did I get the oddball benelli that just didn't need a "break in"?Is the M4 using different springs?VS the SBE II :confused:[ATTACH=CONFIG]2166[/ATTACH] Here she is!!

tangy003 Posted June 9, 2013 Author Share Posted June 9, 2013 OK folks.I just came from the trap range and I put 75 rounds of target loads down the barrel.I'm happy to tell you my benelli didn't skip a beat.Worked flawlessly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read about that also but my SBE II always has cycled almost all rounds except some very low power 7/8 and 1 oz loads that I use in my 100 year old model 97 cowboy action shotgun. SBE II is the best all around shotgun IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like mine.It is replacing(believe it or not)a Remington model 11-48.Yeah that gun is very old and I just felt the urge for something new.This will primarily be used for pheasant and then deer when the season rolls around.

Phil was loyal to Remington or Winchester (can't remember which off hand). When Willie took over he arranged the Benelli deal and it worked out great for them.

Don't get me wrong about them.I think the show is great and so on.( I watch all the time)I have no ill will about anything they do or have.They came from where they were to where they are and that's the American dream.Something I wish all of us could achieve.....Sigh.....maybe one day.

metroplex Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I've only heard about possible issues with light loads (7/8 oz, 1 oz) on the inertia systems. I've only used 1-1/8 oz through my new M2, and it cycled them all just fine and this is 2.72 dram and 3.00 dram. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
