What’s your beater rifle?

[leslie hetrick]

remington 700 left hand 7mm08, leupold 2.5-8x. never gave me a problen from day one.

Especially through your fine SBE³...which recoils like a semi auto single shot.

All my SBE3 does is take game with authority.

Isn’t your best rifle prone to be the “beater”, given an inclination to shoot it the most! There is no beater rifle, just a shitty one that you don’t trust your life to….

 

[leslie hetrick]

i don,t beat any of my firearms, but i do use a few in very bad weather and rough conditions as i have killed many animals in those conditions.

I like hunting but that's dedication

Now I see why Africa Is so popular with you guys.

I have a SBE. I know what they recoil like. It takes game the same as a Mossberg 835, but it loads the next shell for you.

I get you, but there's a reason for the 3 on the SBE3...there have been advancements beyond the original and even the 2 (which I recently sold). I know you have the "original" 3.5" bird slayer, but everything evolves and changes...or it gets left behind. It doesn't mean the original SBE isn't good, just that there was room for improvement.

BTW - I love the original design. Although not a completely original thought by Benelli, it was the first time it was put into successful mass production. A real gem.

I bought the ARs that I bought after carefully researching all my options and investing in what I felt would be good ARs for my purposes. I did not go "cheap." Seems to me you are just trying to chum the water for a stupid argument. I think there's another forum for that.

I have a suspicion that if I had an SBE³ in black and you had one in camo with an equal barrel length, weight and choke tube...somehow you'd believe an advantage existed for your benefit. Huzzah!

Of course I would have an advantage. Mine is camo…

No performance advantage, but for geese camo would be preferred.

Makes a man wonder how men ever killed game without camouflage...blue steel, wood, and flannel are just such disadvantages...

Same way they use a SBE instead of a SBE3.

Be a traditionalist, but don’t get your panties in a bunch because everyone else doesn’t want to.

You know I never said what kind of SBE I had. You made presumptions and I just went with it allowing you to show your posterior and wear same as a headdress.

And I used the term "they" not "you"...so you can keep your headdress for yourself.

YOU called me a traditionalist! That's intolerance because it has "ist" in it! We don't tolerate intolerance around here.

 

[Hunt anything]

You guys are killing me.

It does not take long to become an outsider on this forum. Come in from working all morning in the yard and you are using terms like SBE and SBE3 and I am lost. What the H is an SBE?

Are you dying laughing or of irritation?

SBE equals Benelli Super Black Eagle and the number indicates which generation. It is a recoil operated semi automatic shotgun in 12 gauge which utilizes 2¾"-3½" shells cycling most loads of 1⅛ oz or heavier. Interesting features of the original included a notch under the bolt which was to ensure cycling if the interrupter failed and a shell went under the bolt. This led to ghost loading a fourth shell and trouble with the US Fish and Wildlife so the feature was eventually discontinued.

You're not an outsider! You're the best guy here for thinking outside of the box with lever action rifles and BLack Powder Cartridges.
