Chemo13 Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Hi, I just bought my first shotgun, and SBE. Then I noticed that they have the SBEII. To those who have tried both, is there a significant diff between the two? I am thinking of returning the other, though i may take a hit on price. Thank you, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shell waster Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 The SBE is a heavier hitter with 3 1/2" loads. If recoil does not bother you, then do not worry about it. The recoil is significantly less with the SBE II. I am wondering if you can buy a SBE II stock and put it on the SBE, I have e-mail Benelli, but they have not responded. I have an older SBE, and after a few hours of shell wasting on ducks (3 1/2"), my shoulder gets sore.

southpawshooter Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 I don't think the stocks are interchangeable. I remember seeing somewhere on their website the receiver has been changed on the SBEII. If recoil bothers you, add the recoil reducer and a Simms Limbsaver to your SBE. I patterned many 3 1/2" shells last weekend with this setup and the recoil was negligible.
