SBE, seldom cleaned, dumped in the river more than once, keeps shooting. Love mine.
Hunted with an SBE II today. Couldn't hit a thing. Every 5th bird I'd take down.
I was 2 for 2 with a guys Browning Gold.
Still haven't got to shoot a Beretta though.
Of course going from almost 20 years of pumping an 870 20 Ga to an in the Blind switch to a 12 Ga shooting 3 1/2's out of a Benelli probably wasn't going to go so well to begin with :p

i have had my camo SX3 3.5 inch for about two and and a half and have ran about 3500 shells through it and have never had a jam. Shot 1 1/8 oz trap loads to 3.5 BBs for geese, never a hiccup. Easy to clean, points great, takes the cold below zero fahrenheit in Montana, and fits me great. I love everything about it.
The only thing I didn't like was when I first got it the trigger pull was about 6-7 pounds a bit much, I was going to take it to a gunsmith, he told me to put 10 boxes through it, to get the machined parts to wear a little. I did and it is perfect now glad I never jumped the gun on the trigger. As I shot it, it has gotten down to a little under 5 pounds which is good and safe. It comes down to fit, this gun just fits me and points where I look. I killed some ducks this year jump shooting that after I shot and got them, I was like how the heck did I shoot through that brush. I could not have made that shot with my old gun I am sure. Love it, it makes me look good sometimes
I use mod factory choke and Fiocchi #3s on ducks and BBs on geese. I have patterned both of these and they pattern great.
If your Silver won't cycle, unless you clean it every time you use it, there's a 99% chance that the spring inside your piston is broken.Quote:

There isn't a better 3.5" gas operated shotgun design on the market.
Dustin, is that a black duck or a mottled duck? looks like a black...Quote:

Black Duck and HUGE! She dwarfed the Pintail Drake when put side by side on their backs. Pretty sure she was a local bird.Quote:

My Shoulder is hurtin' today though lol Those 3 1/2 Hevi-Shots via the SBE II are paying me back big time. I hunt and shoot clays throughout the season so it's not as if my shoulder is new to shooting.
If you want to shoot 3.5"s, go with gas operated vs inertia.Quote:
