Benelli SBE 3 20 gauge

[Greenhead12]

Does anyone know if the newest model sbe 3 20 gauge comes drilled and taped?

I saw or read somewhere, that from this point forward, they would be as well as the 28 gauges. Can't verify as I haven't laid eyes on either gauge.....

Bought a tungsten and timber SBE3 yesterday.  It is drilled and tapped but only the back 2 holes closest to the shoulder stock.  I ordered a sumtoy base for mine.  Now just waiting.

Was there a build date on the box? I'm trying to find ones of these. Talked to 4 or 5 Benelli dealers none of them have heard of the drilled and tapped sbe 3 20 gauge's models. Benelli is closed for the week so can't ask them.

I'm really not sure.  I threw the box away.   I can check on the sticker that came inside the case when I get to the house in the morning.

There Wasn't a date on the stickers inside the box.  Wish I could help.

Thanks!

I just got a message from the people that run Benelli facebook page saying they don't come drilled and tapped. Now I am even more confused.

I'll be more than glad to send you a pic to your phone and you can send to Benelli if you want lol

Here is a 28 gauge. You'll have to look close to see the camo plug screws. Not my gun so I don't have better photos....

Yep I have always kept the gun boxes. I have them stacked up in a spare room.  That way I can keep my Wife on her toes. She'll ask, "How long have you had that one? " my response is always the same. "I   been had it"!!! I may have been had it 20 years or 20 minutes!!!

They must have changed at some point because adamky has one that he just bought. He sent me photos of it and it has the factory plastic plugs just like that 28 gauge that was posted.

I'm not sure.

That's what I was told by Benelli on the phone

Mine from the factory.
