GA Hawg hunter Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 I just found this forum and think it's great,seems like alot of good advice is available, hope you fellas can help me. Been shopping around for a semi-auto 12 ga for use on deer, hogs, birds. I have been hunting with a Mossberg 500 pump with 28" barrel with great success. Just recently changed the barrel over to a rifled slug barrel and added a laser dot sight, so now I "need" a new shotgun. I am really leaning towards the SBE ll pistol grip but it comes with 24" barrel, can you get a longer barrel or shoud I just change the chokes as needed? Already have a turkey gun(10 ga 3 1/2 mag) Also would like to get some skeet shooting trigger time every once in a while so what would be the best application?

tucker301 Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Depends on your intended purpose. You're using the slug gun for deer and hogs? You've got a turkey gun already. What's left is brids, feathered and clay, right? Sounds to me like you don't need the steady grip, but a traditional design. The barrel lenght won't change the pattern one bit, but the added length will give you a longer sight plane and make flying targets"seem" to be closer. It also makes for smoother swing and follow through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA Hawg hunter Posted January 3, 2006 Author Share Posted January 3, 2006 Thanks, so would you say 26" or 28" then? Just got back from Dick's sporting goods and they are sold out of synthenic stock/camo SBE ll's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butch-M Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 26" SBEII ... forget the steady grip. I assume the Mossberg slug gun is covering the deer & hogs. The 10ga waterfowl & turkey. That leaves "Upland Game" ... SBEII 26", light, fast, reliable. (Also versatile, can do waterfowl & turkey using up to 3-1/2" shells ... probably better than whatever you're using now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
