What are the negatives ya'll are having with the SBE3? I have one that I just spent my first year with duck hunting and I love it. Didn't have a single issue with it whatsoever. Would never part with it.

Interesting. I've got an SX3 I need to blow the dust off of. I may shoot 'em side by side this weekend to see if I can tell a difference.

Never had one hiccup outta my A400 in a snow goose field. I messed up and took a benelli last year and had to borrow a gun on our 2nd hunt. Needless to say I got rid of the benelli. A400 extreme for the W
