Title: Pimp my Benelli
Post by: busta biggun on April 08, 2011, 10:28:42 AM
I made some updates to my 10 year old SBE. I got it camo-dipped. (looks brand new!) I also got a new Eotech holographic sight. I kept breaking the glass out of the red deot scopes from recoil. This thing is built like a tank. It is made for military use, so it should stand up to my abuse. You really can't tell by the pics, but it is very easy to pick up a moving target as the sight window is large and you can shoot with both eyes open. Last I got some decals from Tom at Custom Gun Socks. I love it!

The turkey is my enemy!

Hard to photograph but this is what the reticle looks like.

 :icon_thumright: but I remember the headaches after each sight in session each year.  My son has the SBE now.

That's a sweet looking turkey rig. I like the camo pattern on it and you can't go wrong with the Eotech.  :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright:

I used this guy /\. He is a young guy running this place with his wife. The whole rig, including dipping all of the custom pieces on the Eotech (cover, screws, etc) cost me $225. It only took two weeks. It looks perfect. Like a brand new gun! I highly recommend him and the process.

Yep, I got the idea from you on the TN site. I had it made up to try to match yours. Great decal! Thanks to you!
