acmf74 Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Anyone have first hand experience with the recoil reducer for a SBE 1? Did it work well? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remy Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I got one of ebay for my SBE 1, but I have not installed it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Vincent Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I had one installed a couple years ago, and it has worked well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadlyBenelli Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 I have heard, that putting the recoil reducer in can effect the performance of the gun. From what I understand, the inertia system needs that recoil to work properly. I don't have any personal experience to verify this, but you may want to research it a little more. Good luck.

tucker301 Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 A reducer may affect the cycling of lighter loads, but I've never had any problems with my 3" and 3.5" waterfowl loads. If you need a reducer in order to be able to shoot trap and light field loads, you may want to consider knitting instead of shooting.

goldeneye Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 if you need 3 1/2" loads for anything flying - what will you use for deer [bazooka ??] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Vincent Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 I can't honestly say if I've shot trap loads with my SBE since I had the recoil reducer put on it. Prior to the installation of the rr, I had used trap loads a lot for pheasant. It came about like this: I had shot fifty plus 3.5" 2.25 oz turkey loads without any padding except a light shirt. Some time after that for the first time in my life, the recoil got to me. I could not pull the trigger to fire my SBE. I decided to try the lightest trap loads I could buy. With work, I was finally able to pull the trigger. So, all that season, I used trap loads, and I used them for the majority of my shooting the next few years (no waterfowl obviously). Once I had the recoil reducer put on, I began to shoot 3.5" loads again, and they were no longer a problem. Plus, using heavy waterfowl loads, I was able to get clean triples on Mallards. So I feel I really benefitted from the recoil reducer. One more thing. Other than having allowed my SBE to get filthy as I hadn't cleaned it in years (and the spring was really rusty), I've never had any problem with the SBE firing and reloading as it should. This goes for the lightest trap loads on up through 3.5" 2.25 oz turkey loads.

nascar Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 I put the recoil reducer in the SBE and after several trips to the trap field and rabbit and bird hunts I pulled it out. I didnt like how it took the balance out of the gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt3097 Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Paul Vincent, I hope you are kidding about not cleaning your gun in a couple of years. If that is an accurate statement, you need a checkup from the neckup. Why would you deliberately mistreat a quality weapon in that manner ? I guarantee you this, you wouldn't be huntin in my group...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
