Quick change for shells?

[SkipD]

I recently purchased a SBE II (my first Benelli) and had a question. I'm planning to use the gun this fall for waterfowl hunting and have been using a Browning Auto-5 up until last year. The Browning Auto-5 has a magazine cutoff which I use on occasion to lock the shells in the magazine and keep them from coming into the chamber while I unload the round in the chamber and quickly replace it with usually with one having a larger shot size. Is there a way to do this with the SBE II?

Just cycle the action.

I guess it doesn't have a cutoff then?

The SBE? No, if you just cycle the action with a shell already in there and NOT press the small button on the bottom it will just eject the shell in the chamber without loading one from the mag. I use that all the time when change from duck to goose load. Totally love the feature.

The SBE...you just cycle the action with a shell already in there and NOT press the small button on the bottom it will just eject the shell in the chamber without loading one from the mag.

Same behavior for SBEII model.
