3GUN super black eagle?

[jchris4769]

How many guys out there are running a super black eagle for three gun as opposed to the M2? Is there any disadvantage? Does it work just as well for the game?

Better to load... longer load port. Customized one this year with Cerakote. Not many people want to pay the extra $100-150 for a slightly heavier gun than a M2 . I recommend NOT trying to shoot light loads with the SBEII. Shoot HIGH QUALITY standard loads (1 1/8 oz 1200fps) or hotter. My opinion is the 24" SBEII is a better choice for 2 & quad loaders than the M2.

The only real disadvantage is you can't run lighter loads reliably without spending some more money. Fact is, MOST pro shotgunners are shooting 1200fps+ 1 1/8oz OR hotter.

It is heavier, needs a higher dram load to run, offers no benefits. Fact is MOST top level shooters are running Light target loads, and some lighter.

I will let you know in 2016, because I am setting one up to shoot. lol. So far, I love it.

That is what I was thinking. Being 3 1/2" chamber vs 3" would be sprung heavier.

Pluses, receiver and barrel is one piece so poi/poa usually much better than with the M1/M2. Easier to quad load WITHOUT a bunch of port work. A little heavier than an M2, but not as porky as a Versa. It already has Benelli parts It can be made to run fairly light loads easily. I know of several top shotguners and a couple of 3-gunners running them, and they really like them.

Its my next project as well, here up North where we are limited to 5 rnds, ( 5.9) the SBE will make more sense, an extra 1 rnd than a 3" chamber SG, . My other other alternative is the Stoeger 3500 in 24" a less expensive option.
