I have a 2 and love it. The 3 is a little more refined. The main improvement in my mind is how slick the bolt operates. Even if you ease it closed, it will close all the way. You can't do that on a 2. I don't know what a used ones worth, but I would love to have one.
May the sound of hounds never die!

Don't know about a SBE3 but I also don't know how you can improve on a SBE 1st Generation I have had one for 25 years and it has been used big time including guiding duck hunts in the flyway. It has never failed me and don't see how I can't get another 25 years out of it.
If the SBE3 is an improvement over that buy 2 now before they quit making them.

Good point. Unless you are doing a lot of duck hunting I would not put as much emphasis on the need for a 3.5 inch gun. There is not a whole lot of difference with steel shot.

From what I gather, the 3 shoots way off of POA, so bad that you can’t correct it in most cases. A lot of those guys switched back to the SBE2. YMMV I've read that too. Shot a few volleys out of one last duck season that a guest had. It was dead on and shouldered like my other Benellis. The forearm is much skinnier than the 1 or 2.

I’m a lefty, so that why I’m sticking to my sbe 2 so loyally. I just wish they made the lefty with a shorter barrel.

That's disappointing, hopefully, that was just some early run woes. I'm pretty well convinced most manufacturing companies have early run woes.
