Maybe best insulated???
Disclaimer
Oh man I can hear underwear bunching and scrunching from here......it is a joke folks!!!! It is not directed at anyone. Hot, insulated....etc. Have we forgotten to laugh in this sport as well???

Are you kidding? He is an incredible hack!......Oh you know....it's an amigo thing!

Perceptions aren't facts. No I wasn't at this match, and I haven't even talked to my brother yet, I have chatted with a couple of people in the squad that was shooting in front of the squad you must have been on, you know amigos and such, and their perception was a bit different than yours. I'm not saying your wrong or right, but there are usually several view points. To just come right out and accuse someone of malphesance, based on point of view, is a bit short sighted. I was offering up a different point of view, rather than just the rather dramatic one you posted. Did you take a lot of those free energy drinks home? You seem real edgy today.
B.T.W. I am not lying, Craig IS the hottest 3-gunner!
-
Weren't they fairly clear right up front that it was 8 stages in 3 days? The way I read it they were, so perhaps with that knowledge up front it is now a bit tawdry to gripe about that aspect now. I think if you had too many free energy drinks, anything would seem slow.
Perhaps the world's hottest 3- Gunner should have enough experience not to start walking on to a stage that is actively being shot. A sense of "being entitled" does not stop a 5.56x 45mm bullet. When you have lots of "names" all over your shirt perhaps you shouldn't start cussing out the R.O. who just stopped you from being ballistic test media, it reflects badly on the "names" and the sport. Besides if Smoke Showing was there we KNOW who the hottest 3-gunner was!!!
As for the rest, carry on! Probably all very valid.....oh, one more thing...what's an app?

What ever 20-30 rounds will generate in about a minute. I doubt it was not properly heat treated. If it wasn't, it would be complete anomaly from the this maker. And besides, it worked perfectly for around 4000 rounds of the same type of 3-gun shooting.
-
Shimming the stock may or may not make it shoot lower, but the bigger the number the more drop the stock has. From what I see, I would try the 65. Make sure you put it in in the right way so you don't change the cast, or left right, of your stock. I run a 65 equivalent on my Benellis and usually set them up that way for others.

Barrel is gone! Had one that would easily hold 3/4 M.O.A. when cold, after 20-30 rounds fairly fast, not even "stage fast" would only put 1 out of 5 on a full size I.P.S.C. metric target at 100 yds. Let it cool down and back to 3/4 M.O.A. What causes this??? I don't know, but I do know you need a new barrel. B.T.W. mine was a stainless steel match barrel with around 4500, from one of the best in the business. The new one from same place has over 8000....... Moral of the story????? Your Barrel
is cooked!

3 things.
1: The port may have been opened up too much allowing the shell rim too much lateral playing, allowing the shells to "slip past" the carrier latch.
2: the carrier latch has gotten bent from lots of practice quad loading. I have noticed this in many of the quad loaded guns, which is caused by the nose of the shell hitting the end of the latch due to angle of loading.
3: lifter not lifting with a shell on it occasionally is caused by the sharp shelf at the back of the carrier latch.
Shell drop lever can and does wobble a little, mine has over 300,000 rounds on it. This isn't your problem

He found out that he uses a light modified almost all the time.

Man! That's going to entail buying a lot of optics and mounts! If only there were a forum where you could get answers from people who have shot 3-gun for a while.
My two cents says magnification of any level isn't necessary as long as you can see the target. Coming from a background in iron sights shooting......NO, not a dot sight, but real iron sights, I have found almost all folks are way over magnified at any thing past about 4X, and it slows them down at long range. I know, I know, but before you start telling me......young eyes....bifocals....etc. I am 58 years old and still placing very well in overalls with just good old A2 iron sights!
-
How aggressively has it been ported?

What is "Facebook"???
-
I'm pretty sure that shooting the crap out of an American Eagle is some kind of Federal crime. :-)
A.E. is great stuff, but every gun is different!

I think that the reason we have these kind of stages is that way too many match directors have "lost their way"..…... Bigger has GOT to be better with no thought on what they want to test with the stage. To often matches say.....let's scatter out a bunch of targets because "round count is King". This is exacerbated by "match sycophants" who post up reviews of matches that say "BEST MATCH EVER"!!!! Anyone who disagree is excoriated by all on the web, so it is a self inflicted "death spiral". The stage it self might blow, but it is way against the common "after action report" so all the M.D. hears is best match EVER, and I loved the shotgun stage!!!!
In my opinion there is no place in this sport, which has martial roots, for flying, flipping, spinning, whirlygigging CRAP that has taken place of thoughtful stage design that tests the combat use of a shotgun! It is just one of the reasons I don't even attend a match I was instrumental in creating anymore!!!
-
No, our friend already knew not to use those! He told me a very similar story involving a critter in West Texas.
-
Well, I don't know about steels. In general steels are much harder than pigs so it might not be a good choice for those either!
I do know that they fail spectacularly in the penetration of non "shooting game" targets. Saw one ? get a 20 round mag dump at about 15 yards and it was still running just fine. It was finally anchored with a 308 165 grain Game King hollow point. (Best pig bullet ever!) Not one of the tipped 77 grain bullets had penetrated past the rib cage, just dimpled him up a bit!
-
Don't know nothing about the accuracy thing but the "tipped bullets" sure don't penetrate as well as the OTM.....to the tune of only a couple of inches before the disintegrate, at least in pigs. The old style usually go 8"-10". I wouldn't use them for hunting anything except paper.
-
AA 2520 is a speed King with the 77 grainers. I am getting 2850 out of a 20" barrel and 2750 out of an 18" sub moa! It is a ball powder and meters great!
-
Useful information?? Like since 2003??? Not my fault you can't "search" or "comprehend"! All I said was it runs fine and you can't understand why you don't get an answer, then you were all reader and old guy. What makes you think people "owe" you an answer? Here is one now....since your two stock Benelli,s don't do this, shoot a stock Benelli. See? Problem solved!!! It is always best to relearn, that way you can figure out what folks already knew with only a 15 year lag. Get er done!
By the way.....(thought I better spell that out for you), your "idea" of what happens under recoil is way off base, but after acting like a stiff member, you probably won't get much else help.
-
Oh, I get it....old guys.......who know nothing about Benellies! Please let us know about how to fix this "problem" with your vast knowledge on this platform.....but remember to use large font so all us old guys can read it. BTW you are going about your "fix" in the wrong way, but you will figure out why after a while. I do so love when folks try to re invent stuff!
Many times the reason there are no replies is NOT because it is such a "great question", it is because folks don't feel like taking the time to tell you the basics of how your gun works for the 150th time. I will leave this tiny tidbit here, as I now know I am engaged with a "Benelli expert", what you are assuming happens during a "static" event isn't even close to what happens under recoil. Further more, all the guys who build on Versa Max shotguns take that little inner spring out and throw it across the shop.....hmm! Guess they don't know nuffin either.?
-
Hmm, gun runs fine......and why is it so quiet????
-
100,000 to 150,000 or so if you start with a "good" spring. But...most of the factory springs aren't all that good!
-
I don't like cheap 55 grainers at all!!!! But now the trashy 55 grainers really do it for me!
-
If that was pointed at Dave, he is "special"! If that was pointed at me, I would say this particular R.O. was absolutely CLUELESS. The rest???? Well we are talking about the Rio guys ?
"Gunslingers" - good or Nono?

And with abandonment barrels in 3-gun and the exuberance of today's "Hollywood" type of 3-gun competitor, it has taken on a whole new modern meaning!
