Title: Opinion on Which Benelli
Post by: lvetgas on March 25, 2013, 10:41:32 AM
I have a Benelli SBE and a SBE II both of which have 26" barrels. I deer hunt, dove and duck hunt with my shotguns. Should I set one of them up exclusively for turkey hunting?

It's really a matter of personal preference but my SBE fits me better than my SBEII did. They both are great guns.

Thanks,

If it were me I'd set one of them up with a Burris Speedbead and if you have to you could always take it off in a couple of minutes.

Benelli's are super reliable so there is really no reason to have 2 of them. 

I suggest you sell one of them to me for a really good price.

Well, I got two little boys who are growing up too fast. That and they both have good memories built into them already.

I feel ya. I got two little ones too. It kinda makes it hard to sell guns when you're going to be needing them for our kids to use. Any way, I'd definetly set one up for turkey.

Which ever one patterns better is the one I'd set up for turkey hunting.

I think I answered my own question. The SBE II is drilled and tapped so I am using it. The Sumtoy choke and Hevi-shot #7 are ordered.

Now I have to figure out which scope or red dot to buy.

 I don't think they all are. I've run across a couple SBEII's that weren't drilled and tapped either.
