JasonH Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Ok guys, I'm new to the forum, and to the world of Benelli shotguns. My wonderful wife has agreed to let me buy a Benelli shotgun for Christmas. I have been surfing the web for about two months now trying to determine which model would best suit my needs. I am stuck between the SBE II Comfortech and the M2 Comfortech. It seems that I have read about more cycling/ functioning problems with the SBE II. I was just wondering if there is any truth to that. If so, what would cause the SBE II to be less reliable? I also realize that some people who say they are having problems with cycling or functioning may not know much about firearms or the proper care and or maintenence for them. I will say that I am leaning toward the SBE II, as most of my hunting will be for Geese. So, let me hear it guys, SBE II or M2? Thanks.

sbeIIfan Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 First and only question, do you use 3 1/2 in shells? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonH Posted December 12, 2005 Author Share Posted December 12, 2005 Well, the truth is, I have never done a lot of goose hunting. What little bit of hunting I have done, has been with 3 inch shells. The majority of my hunting will be done over a decoy spread in a field. I like the idea of having the option of using 3 1/2 shells should I ever get the opportunity to do other types of waterfowling though. To answer your question, no, I do not currently use 3 1/2 inch shells. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commando Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Its nice to have the 3 1/2 to reach out and touch those birds who decide not to decoy in due to pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbeIIfan Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 For the 250 or 300 dollars more go with the SBE II. Thats just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max4Gooser Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 SBE II is the gun to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonH Posted December 13, 2005 Author Share Posted December 13, 2005 Thanks for all the advice guys. I decided to go with the M2. I talked to several guys that goose hunt in various fields in my area, and most of them dont use 3 1/2 inch shells. A few of them have guns that are capable of digesting the 3 1/2 inchers, however they advised that they rarely use them. At any rate, I'm sure I would have been happy with either gun, and I appreciate everyone's advice. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
