comfortech or non-comfortech difference?

[Tim SBE 2]

I have a sbe 2 non-comfortech. I was wanting to know if the difference in felt re-coil is enough of a difference to spend the money to upgrade to a comfortech model?

No, it isn't.

Night and day my friend. I had an M1 that I shot turkeys and pheasants with and then sold it to get a M2 for just turkey hunting. I bought the pistol grip version and after shooting some 3"turkey loads, it felt as if I called Mike Tyson a sissy. I seriously thought I fractured my cheek bone. I had to pony up another $150 bucks to get the comfortech stock. Having the jell cheek pad and recoil reducement system, it makes shooting 3" loads enjoyable. Definately worth the upgrade!....DREW

That's pretty much your call.

 

I can't say I notice much of a difference, but unless I'm at the patterning board, I don't notice recoil much in general.

 

It might be worth installing a X-Coil or Limbsaver on the non-CT SBE II though.

I agree with Mudhen. A good pad will help you about as much and would be cheaper unless you are having some issues with face slap. If so, the softer comb will definately be a benefit. Have you adjusted your gun with the shims?

A proper gun fit will will help. However 3" and 3 1/2" are what they are.

I shot an SEB II with Comfortech and a nova without comfortech. Unless I was holding the gun wrong when I shot it, I thought the SBE kicked harder then my nova, using the same exact round. I do like the gel pad for the cheek though, I've been slapped in the face with a 10 gauge browning with the hardwood stock, and it ain't pleasant.

Where can you get a comfortech stock? No, I have not adjusted the gun with the shims, it fits me pretty well like it is. Thanks for all the in-put fellas.

And now, we see the logic of my answer .

 

Follow mudlip's advice and try an aftermarket pad.

You can even install a mercury reducer as well, and still save a shload of cash.
