Title: Benelli SBE
Post by: hunter22 on March 01, 2015, 07:18:56 PM
I bought this gun to use as a backup but I think she will be my #1 turkey gun this spring. I just put a Limbsaver recoil pad on her and found a Rhino .660 choke to screw in. I mounted a Leupold 1X4 NWTF scope with quick detachable mounts so I can shoot the fiber optic sights in an emergency. The barrel is 24 inches. Claw sling.

The Limbsaver model # 10401 fit both my Benelli SBEs perfectly and sure helps with the recoil.

Congratulations! That's an excellent shotgun and should provide you years of excellent service.

Thanks,

We have had good luck with the 650 in them.
