Okay, now thats cool!

Took some time, but he did a whale of a job!

I sure would like to see an Extrema2 done like that

 

What pattern should I use to match up well with my favorite deer stand?

 

[sdkidaho]

Dude, I am SO not painting my X2. No - way.

 

I will however be happy to paint yours with this method. Just buy one and send it to me.

I think I'm gonna do this with the next gun I get, not to happy with the film, its good for a couple seasons, and I don't like the matte black. Sdk, how many heavy 3" and 3-1/2" rounds have you put through your X2?

[tucker301]

Here's mine

Nice photoshop. And you're a lefty.

You're smarter than you look

I have probably 60 rounds of 3-1/2" shells through it and maybe 25 rounds of 3", and maybe a 100 rounds of 2-3/4" shells?

Maybe if I get "really" ambitious I'll try it on my 20 guage Nova.

The camo on my charles daily has held up for 3 years now, that gun has seen some abuse, its got a bit of rust, jams every now and then due to inferior parts, but the film on it hasn't faded, its really durable, doesn't come off easily, if they put the same stuff on the benellis then I'd be happy with that.

 

Thanks for the info Darby, if I can get some trigger work done on an SBE II, I'm going with that, I've been on a few forums and I don't like what I'm hearing about the Xtrema 2.

Here's mine

 

 

that painted Benelli looks like the ones at the 2007 shot show on there future promo rotating display,,they also had leather and gold and other stuff on them,,they looked pretty cool.

[tucker301]

That's a photoshop I posted here a while back.

Now you've got me wondering if someone at Benelli didn't take a little more than a passing interest in it.

 

Oh well, I'm sure the check's in the mail

 

I did some other designs as well.

I'll post them tonight.

[M1014]

I took some pics of them with my stone age vintage digital -1998 model,,I'll look for them,,they had leather and some fancy inscription marks also,,

[tucker301]

Here are the others.

I think I like the desert pattern second to the tri-color.

 

 

[tucker301]

[M1014]

yeah,,i remember when you did those a while ago,,cool colors,,no luck yet in finding the shot show pics,,will continue search,,see ya

[Liberty or death Jr.]

I like all three!

There is a product called Dura Coat that by all accounts works very well. You can do solid or camo schemes. You can check it out on the DS Arms website, they put it on their FAL"s and AR's.

Liberty, why don't you like the Extrema? Ihave heard the new SBE's have had trouble with the recoil pads and that the little rubber chevrons in the stock get hard over time (like any recoil pad does) and have to be replaced. I have an older SBE Camo from '97 with a kick ezz pad. No trouble from this old gal; however I like my Beretta AL391 Camo for hunting better because it kicks less and I no longer feel the need to fire 3.5" shells. I've found I kill ducks out to 40-50 yards better actually with 2.75" mags. I don't know why, but I do.

I'm hearing more bad then I am good. Things breaking on them, not even with 500 rounds through them. I haven't heard problems from the 3" berettas, just the new Xtrema, and I'm a 3-1/2" guy. I used mostly 3" last year for geese and ducks, but I like having the option of the 3-1/2" shells.

 

The recoil pad problem, haven't heard enough about it to worry, and I hear way to many good things about Benelli's CS to worry to much about it.
