If you did not like the first one then why did you buy more? Spending $1000 plus on something that you did not like is a lesson. Doing it again is just plain dumb.

you're right kaustin. i learned on the first one.. who said i bought a second??? but...you made me come with an idea... they should sell them in pairs, so you could have one for parts.. good luck with your S.B.E..($#!+, blows everywhere,)

stick a 3 1/2 " turkey load in that thing and light her off at a target and we'll see if you're still singing the sbe2's praises--i did the other day and PROMPTLY picked my mp-153 baikal gas auto back up...HUGE difference

Hope you enjoy the new stick! You are the only person it has to please, and I can promise you that no single brand of anything is going to get rave reviews on this, or any other, site. Hope it shoots straight and consistent for you.
Hope you never have to go head-to-head with a Beretta though!

thanks crow. Me going head to head with anyone would not do justice to any gun. I am an average shooter at best and know that no gun will change that. I am trying to work on it this off season. 150 rounds and 40 ducks for this past season says it all. I NEED PRACTICE.

Crow hit it right on the head Kaustin. Enjoy your gun. 11 seasons later, countless thousands of shells later, even probably a couple thousand ducks later, my ole SBE is like a Timex, take a lickin & still tickin

Remington 11-87
I'll never shoot anything else. I've shot Remington guns for 40 years with zero problems!

450,
many a bird killed with 11-87, not a bad piece, but I cant say I have had the same experience with all Remingtons
Growing up my Dad had an 1100 that might as well have been a clothes rack.
I do have a remington deer rifle I would not take any amount of money for.
Come to think of it, If feel about the same way about my Benelli.
Have you tried one yet?
