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.
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…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!
Makes a man wonder how men ever killed game without camouflage...blue steel, wood, and flannel are just such disadvantages...Of course I would have an advantage. Mine is camo…
No performance advantage, but for geese camo would be preferred.
Same way they use a SBE instead of a SBE3.Makes a man wonder how men ever killed game without camouflage...blue steel, wood, and flannel are just such disadvantages...
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.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.
And I used the term "they" not "you"...so you can keep your headdress for yourself.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.

YOU called me a traditionalist! That's intolerance because it has "ist" in it! We don't tolerate intolerance around here.And I used the term "they" not "you"...so you can keep your headdress for yourself.
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.
