benelli for turkey gun??

[WildTigerTrout]

Stay with your remington or go to either mossberg or browning.
Benelli just hasn't cut it for me from personal experience and seeing alot of patterns from the local benelli guys guns.

Mine shoots pretty darn good, better than my 11-87 with the same loads. Why go with a pinto when you can have a ferrari?

I agree mine shoots great!

I'm willing to bet my SBE II will out shoot many a gun from those three manufacturers, and it's not even a dedicated turkey gun. Just because you couldn't get it to work, doesn't mean another person can't. On the flip side, I'm sure there are plenty of guns out there that will outshoot mine. It's all about finding the right gun/choke/load combo, and how much time and money one is willing to spend to find it. My benelli shoots great with several different load and choke combos, and I wouldn't trade it for ten of any of the guns mentioned above. to the OP, if you want a Benelli, go for it. I doubt you'll be sorry.

I'm with ya, I grew up shooting remington, I love my remingtons, and I'm a big fan of browning but there's no way I would trade my Benelli for either unless I just had to. I'm not knocking mossy's but they aren't for me.

Fine looking weapon there Beagler.   Where did you get the add on comb?   Lost

Can't remember what website I found it at. I just searched Benelli gel comb riser and located one.

I've got an SBE I with 24" barrel, Indian Creek .665 choke, Sure Grip Stock, and Burris FF II.  It will flat out hammer a turkey.

Sand Man,

Looking at those patterns, I think you've made Luke95's case for him; that gun is an absolute train wreck. I don't see how you could possibly harvest a bird with it. You should definitely look to another brand like Mossberg, Remington or Browning. That said, I'll take it off your hands and just because I'm in the giving spirit...I'll open the bidding for $1 shipped.

Heck, I know it shoots like a turd since it's a benelli, but the camo is pretty cool. I'll give ya 50.00 bux for it!

[Britton40]

Sell your 870.  Get you a 24" barrel for your SBE 1 and put some truglo pro series magnum gobble dot sights on it.

[Sand Man]

HA!  I might take the $50 is this economy doesn't pick back up.   

[vtmchunter]

MY Dad shoots a Super Nova with 30" barrel and it does great.  It's a dedicated turkey gun with scope.

I have been very happy with my Vinci.....(thanks HuntSource!  ) It is my "all purpose" shotgun.  For turkey I have a rhino .660" choke.  The Vinci is very lightweight and it patterns very well.
