Oregon Elk Hunter Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 To all my Deer Hunting Brothers (Sisters) on the east coast. I am likely going to sell my Nova and get a SBEII or M2 slug gun. Nova was too noisey (see post below.) I would appreciate any thoughts for other big game hunters as to which model would be best for 3" Sabots. Thanks, in advance, OEH.

69beers Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 From what I understand the SBEII slug gun is chambered for 3 1/2". That means you can't shoot 2 3/4" and there is only one 3 1/2" slug (Lightfield) on the market to my knowlege. I've hunted my whole life with slugs and found that 2 3/4" are more accurate than 3" with very little difference in velocity/energy. I would go for the m2 or SBE I. My SBE shoots 1-2" groups well past 100 yards and I wouldn't hesitate to pull the trigger on any North American big game (took it bear hunting in AK).

mudhen Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 As I stated in the main Benelli section, the info from 69beers about the 3.5" slug use is incorrect. He is quite correct, IMHO, on the 2.75 issue though. mudhen - CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
