Welp, broke down and bought one.

I started a topic a few days ago about the SX3. Well I went to Gander Mountain today to look at them. I shouldered the SX3, Versa Max, A400, Maxus, and just for laughs, the SBE2. Well I left with the SBE2. It was a bit out of my budget but I feel I paid a good price for it. I'm really glad I'm not married right now lol. Out the door was around $1450. I also bought two cases of ammo. So you know where I'll be lol.

awesome man, hard to beat that SBE2! it fit me like a glove and is so freaking easy to break down and clean

 

[RidgeRunner13]

The SX3 felt great... And if I hadn't picked up the SBE2 I would've bought it. But the SBE2 felt like it was in a whole nother class

 

[REN]

right there with you. the SX3 was #2 on my list (well actually the Vinci was #2 but you get my point)

 

[RidgeRunner13]

I was already far enough out of my budget that I was afraid to even touch the Vinci. With some haggling I got it at a good price. So once I get home I'll shoot it and probably fall even deeper in love with it

Good choice, I love mine! Not you just need a steady grip...

 

[TNTomtaker01]

I own two of them if that's says anything plus a sbe1

 

[FARMTOFIELD]

I love mine, I hated to drop that kinda cash but it was worth it

 

[RidgeRunner13]

Yea this thing is awesome. As soon as I got home, I went out in the rain and put 50 rounds through her. It's a great shooting weapon and it fits like a glove. I'm in love with it lol

Congrats! I keep hearing experiences similar to yours...That's why I have never touched an SBE2.

Another Benelli man myself... The only thing I don't like is the recoil.... SX3 is much easier on the shoulder.
Congrats on a fine shotgun!!

That's a good rule to go by. I didn't think it would be that much of a difference, but I was way wrong.

agreed, my stupid mistake recently was using a buddies Vinci some and man it has really really grown on me! I like it more and more each time i pick it up.

i totally made that mistake picking up a M2 20 gauge, ended up having to have one after that fateful day lol

 

[RidgeRunner13]

Lol I looked at a deer rifle and the guy was convinced I was gonna leave with it too. I told him that I do have to eat something this month lol

 

[duckriver]

Love mine and someday plan to buy a second one

I see all the complaints on the net about the problems with dove loads but I have never actually seen it happen, except for the Mossberg 935. I wouldn't recommend that gun to anybody.

From a person who hunts every day, you wont regret it. Best cycling auto made, without cleanup.
