I’ve shot a pile of clays with that gun, duck hunted all season with it, took it to Texas and hunted in the mud of Bayside and copano bay and it never gave a problem. I shoot better with that gun that I have ever shot with anything else.

Just get you a new recoil spring Doc. Casey told me about those and they work. It's a simple fix you can do.

Doesn’t matter what gun you buy, if you can’t shoot it.

Auto loader . Not looking to spend over 2k Easy then, super black eagle 2 My vote is for a SBE2. I picked up mine HEAVILY used (snow goose conservation gun for sure - extended mags, plastic welded to the chokes, etc), replaced a recoil spring, and it's never missed a beat. My only gripe with Benellis is if you're trying to ride the bolt home to keep from making noise and don't let the bolt go into battery, you'll get the dreaded "benelli click" other duck gun is a 1989 Browning A-5 Mag 12 stalker...her name is Dolores, she's my trailer park wife...you beat on her, but she just keeps coming back.

I think the SBE-3 is supposed to fix that.

What about a new Browning A5? That's what I went with. I'm waiting on my Bottomland Wicked Wings to show up. It's actually a brownelli. To me shoulders better than any of my past SBEs or SBEIIs. I still have my H&K SBE I bought in 93, she still shoots everything she is fed.

After owning about 10 different Benellis I decided I couldn’t get over the jamming and one shots. You can keep it and spend a few hundred dollars on a sure cycle parts and make it a jam up gun. I have sense turned over to a beretta and about to order a new one. To me this is one of the better autoloading shotguns on the market. Plus it kicks about as 1/3 as hard as a benelli.

If your benelli isn’t cycling you need to oil it.......they don’t run dry very well. I’ve shot them for a long time and they will cycle anything with factory springs

Can paddle a boat with it, pull up and shoot all day in the boat or the blind. I've had the "Benelli Click" on occasion but that was when I first got it years ago and never had a problem since. I've got an SBE and SBE2 and love them. I actually passed down the SBE to my son for his 18th birthday. Dr. B

Just curious why the SBE gets so much love over the M2? I chose an M2 over the SBE because I have no desire to 3.5" shells. Does the SBE have some other advantage over the M2?
