Benelli

Any of you guys use a Benelli SBE 2 or a Nova (3.5")?

Beer Forever · 05-10-2006, 03:44 PM

I had a 70 Nova, does that count?

My brother uses the SBEI. He really likes it. I have shot it. I tend to like my SX2 Gas auto better. Just personal preference. The Inertia designs have a lot to offer. If your not needing 3" capability, Stoeger and Franchi have the same design licensed by benelli for a lot less money.

The 3.5" is what we want. We are limited to 2 in the mag and one in the chamber 3 total.

We have the same 3 shot restriction. I don't know about the UK, but here in the states you don't want to get caught "floating" that 4th round. Albeit hard to prove, that's a big ticket.

The 2.5" shells are only used for pheasant and pigeon.

You have 2 1/2" shells? the only ones smaller than 2 3/4" that we have here are the little novelty one that are about 1" long

Wildfowler · 05-15-2006, 01:36 PM

Yep plenty of 2.5" here! Can't you get those in the US?

We can get loads in the UK, Oh I would also like to say Hi to you all?

We can't get 2.5", only 2.75". Nothing stopping us from getting 2.5", we just don't have them. We do have a "mini-shell" that's 1.75" or so, but that doesn't feed reliably in shotguns not specifically designed for it.

A lot of our 67.5 mm shells have been changed externally to 65 mm, why?
