bishop414 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 12 is the only way to go if loading quads. If you're not, then 10 works very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remington92 Posted March 15, 2019 Author Share Posted March 15, 2019 How far will a 12 tube stick out past a 26” barrel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the extra keeps your muzzle/choke tube from hitting stuff when "grounding" it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of us started shooting 3 gun with a tube flush with the muzzle for aesthetic reasons and within a couple matches went and bought another extension to get to at least 12 in the tube.

Remington92 Posted March 16, 2019 Author Share Posted March 16, 2019 Well y’all talked me into it. I cancelled my 10 shot order from Brownells that wouldn’t be in stock till mid April and ordered a 12 shot that was in stock at midway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remington92 Posted March 18, 2019 Author Share Posted March 18, 2019 Can anyone tell me if it’s worth putting the money into my sbe2 to get the port opened or not worry with more money into this gun and start saving for a dedicated 3” gun?

Like many have said, take the gear you have now and go shoot some matches. See what others use. I guarantee if you have ammo, they will let you shoot their guns. Most will even let you shoot with their ammo to get you hooked into the game. After a few matches, you will have a better feel for what division you like, what gear you need, along with chances to see and talk to others why they do what they do. Personally, save your money for ammo and play time. It's hard I know, we have all been there but you will be buying a lot of stuff 2 or 3 times if you're not 100% positive on the gear you "need" vs. want.

One of my good freind's in the game has run the SBE's (his sons shoot also). You need to run hotter ammo and you can't just buy a carrier for them. But I would make the port easier to load . now and if you love the game and your a Benelli man get a M2 or Beretta n 1301 or maybe a Breda. The M2's are nice because they run the low recoil slugs well. The Beretta's are nice but I heard from a good source they Benelli port can be made a little better. BUT I know that Beretta relocated the serial number so maybe that is no longer true. Just get out and shoot. Any changes you want will be self evident I think.

Remington92 Posted March 18, 2019 Author Share Posted March 18, 2019 Well at least to start I’ve got the lifter welded,extended bolt release and handle, extended tube, then going to have the port worked on. Try it for 3 gun this season and then have a sweet snow goose setup! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a link in case its not on your radar. You don't need it for your first match. http://www.matchsaverz.com/Matchsaverz/Home.html I have had the best luck with this one, not the copy I tried.

Try it for 3 gun this season and then have a sweet snow goose setup! i'd try it without having the port worked on. i used a sbe2 before my current m2, and because the sbe takes 3.5" shells, that port is already pretty big and frankly i found it easier to load, totally stock, than my m2 with welded lifter and extended port. and as noted above, because the sbe2's are sprung for more powerful 3.5" shells, mine didn't work 100% with any of the walmart 4-box packs of regular power shells (fed, rem or win), but it did work 100% with the slightly more expensive (ie faster) winchester super sports. and it worked fine with the fiocchi low recoil slugs.
