Lindey83 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 well what would you chose and why I am in the market and wondering if the camo is worth it. They both look great to me so either way I will be happy. Just wondering what all of your thoughts are on this. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering what all of your thoughts are on this. thanks i would go with the camo but thats just me, the paint holds up if u take care of the gun. mine is just now starting to barely chip and its been through 2 turkey seasons 2 duck seasons and a bunch of skeet and dove shooting. but its up to you just depends on what ur into Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Black: traditional looks difficult to misplace afield relatively easy cleaning and maintenance more subject to corrosion easy to refinish - wear it out and then have it dipped Camo: super-cool stealthy looks be careful where you leave it lying easier to clean the externals less subject to corrosion expect some chipping - It's NORMAL a little more difficult to refinish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I just own black, but chose it over camo because of the film on the camo chipping and will come off if subjected to some solvents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skhunter Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Definitely get the camo! I have a M2 Field with the Max4. The camo makes the gun very resistant to the elements when in the field. If you are like me, rain and ice never stand in the way of a good duck hunt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigF Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 I chose the camo. It is simply an aesthetic thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Hillbilly Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I faced the same decision a while back and bought the SBE II in black. I just decided it was probably a bit more versatile for my purposes than was the camo. Plus, I have seen too many camo guns (not so many Benelli's, however), that look pretty cruddy in a few years.

Lindey83 Posted June 17, 2008 Author Share Posted June 17, 2008 thanks guys this all helps.....I also have another q's. since i will be using this gun for mostly duck and some turkey hunting and what not what length of barrel would you chose for this. i have been reading some posts and from what i can gather people like one or the other i have a 26" now and sometimes it feels too short and to fast of a swing. anyone have any suggestions here?????????????????????

tucker301 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I use the 26 and love it. No problem with wingshooting and it handles well in the turkey woods. http://americangundog.com/straightshooting_AGD1.html See episode 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kacey joe Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 go with the 26"- the wife suprized me last Christmas witha SBEII Max 4 with 26"- thought I'd want the 28 but with the Benelli's longer receiver the 26 is only about 1/2" shorter than my 1187 with a 28" barrel and it feels perfect-can't say enough good things about the SBEII shoots everything from 1 oz. skeet loads to 2 oz. 3 1/2's whithout a hitch and cleans up a lot easier than that 1187 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindey83 Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 ok thanks for those video tips looks like i will be looking into a 28" model and i will have my 26 along just in case:D:eek: another thing i saw in there was the eye dominence i am right handed but left eye dominent so i always have to close my left eye. i can shoot left handed but it feels all wrong. any tips on helping this other than wearing an eye patch on my left eye and looking like a fool. thanks Lindey83 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
