DRA Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 I purchased a new SBEII and noticed that the center aiming bead on the barrel is not centered across the width or the raceway. It is about 1/32" off center. Is that a flaw or is that correct? Would appreciate any response. Thanks Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fen Wolf Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 My NOVA came like that. I would think it has to be a defect. I made sure on the next gun it was right. Im not sure there is any recourse in this situation but I did not contact Benelli about it. Have you called customer service? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRA Posted October 18, 2004 Author Share Posted October 18, 2004 I did call Benelli after I posted and they said for me get with my gun dealer and have him ship it back and they would either repair it of provide a new barrel. Thanks for your reply. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jmel Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 I noticed the same thing with my SBE II this last weekend. Just measured it and it is about 1/32" off to the right side of the gun. Is this a big deal, or nothing to get concerned about? What kind of affect can it have being slightly off? Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRA Posted October 19, 2004 Author Share Posted October 19, 2004 Jmel I would guess about 2" in 100'. Although I figure that if you pay $1350 for a somewhat expensive shot gun (in my book) I would expect it to be perfect. It is just very noticable to me right when I took it out of the box. Mine is off to the right also by about a 1/32", I don't know you are probably right that it is not that critical.

wallhanger54 Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 Yall sure can overcomplicate things. Mine was a little off, never liked the idea of a mid bead anyway. I just took mine out, they are just screwed in. Dont know what youre shooting at 100 yards for, its a SHOTgun designed to shoot shot in a pattern, it aint a rifle. If you spend too much time looking at the sights instead of letting the rib and front sight guide your eye youre gonna miss your target anyway.
