I shoot a super black eagle 2 what the jelly head choke tube and Winchester extended-range 3&a half inch number 5 shot they patterns decent I suppose around 20 pallets in the vital area on a Primos target at 40 yards. my question is who else shoots a super black eagle 2 and what's your recipe and how well does it work I'm always looking for something better.
SBE2 and Rhino with hevi 3.5" 6's
I shoot a final strut .665 with H-13 3.5" 2.25oz #6's I get 180-190 in a 10" circle, H-13 with 3.5" 2.25oz #7's 285-300+, with a I.C .665 and win. xtended range 3.5" 2oz #6's i get 170-185 in a 10" circle all at a measured 40 yds . Rob Roberts with gobbler gun's was awesome he sent me 5 choke's to compare side by side and then i bought the one the I liked best. My SBEII has a 24" barrel and from what I see the 26's get better patterns.
Benelli SBE 2
24" barrel
Aimpoint Red Dot Scope
Rhino Choke (.660)
3 1/2" Nitro 4 X 5 X 7's
around 195-205 in the 10

I patterned my SBE2 with a couple of different chokes and found the Hevi choke with Hevi-13 shells to work just fine. With 3" #6 I am getting a consistant 175 pellets in the 10" circle at 40 yards. One round had about 210 holes. Im sure there are better but this works for me.
It a 2-1/4oz of tss

Yea its crazy how well tss shoots!!!
beagler, I like your set-up! Had pretty much the same but with steady grip and a Burris Extended Eye Relief 1X scope, shot the same load and choke. Mine would usually do around 250 consistant with the Nitro/Rhino combonation. A friend of mine talked me out of it and I have regreted it ever since!

01Foreman400, does the Marlin 336 base only use two holes or does it span the whole top of reciever? Do you have a close-up picrture of your gun?
Thanks

You will have to get a hole drilled and tapped for this set-up. The existing holes don't line-up correctly. You can use one of the existing holes but will have to add one more.

Thanks. Is the advantage just that you can use a smaller base? Cleaner looking mounting option? How hard is it to drill and tap the reciever, I have heard several horror stories about people trying to drill into Benelli SBE recievers?
Thanks

I like it for the clean and sleek look. My gunsmith didn't say anything about how hard it was. I've read where folks have had problems though.

Have sbe2 with Indian creek 665. Does great with nitro mega shot and 3 1/2 inch hevi shot #6. Remember the main thing is to clean your gun/choke often and well GOOD LUCK
Ps nitro over 200 in the 10 inch but the hevi 6s had best 20 in pattern
Just a heads up if your gun is already drilled and tapped have the smith just add an extra hole to your base to match up. Lot rather be drilling on a 30 dollar base than a 1300$ gun. Just a thought. Had it done once.

:agreed:
My SBEII has a 26" barrel, I also had the forcing cone lengthened and polished by Rob Roberts. I'm shooting Rob's Final Strut .650 and 3 1/2" Federal Heavyweight #7s. If I remember right the best I've ever got in 10" @ 40 yards was around 180. One thing is for sure, this combo slams gobblers!
Your right chrmayo, overlooking the obvious. The problem with mine is that it is not drilled and tapped, mine is a SBE1.

I run the 24" SBE II with a P.G. .670 and 3.5" Hevi straight 6's. avg. a very even 250 in the 10" at 40 yards.
My ic tube should be here Monday! I've got win ext range 5's and mag blend. The 5's shoot good out of my jelly head, the mag blends didn't unfortunately but got high hopes with this new ic tube!
I have wanted one for ever and the plan is to buy one this year before dove season but my question to you guys is do you use your SEBII for more than just turkey hunting and do any of you change out the stocks with a pistol grip for turkey and go back to the regular for duck and dove. Is there much of a difference in the 26'' and 28'' barrels, and has anyone ever seen a pistol grip stock in the Mossy Oak Duck Blind pattern because I cant find one and I want to buy my gun in MODB.
All I use mine for is turkeys, I've got an extrema 2 that I dove and waterfowl hunt with! Don't know about the pistol grip part of your question. Mines a regular ol sbeII in advantage timber.
My SBE2 with steady grip is a dedicated turkey gun. When I do duck hunt I hunt the saltwater marshes on Long Island and I don't like to bring expensive guns out there. My SBE2 has the 24" barrel so I really cant answer your question. I know I would buy the 26" barrel before the 28".
Well my Indian Creek choke tube came in the mail today and I had to take it out and give it a test run. Holy smokes is that choke tight! it throws an excellent pattern with Winchester supreme elite number five extended range shells! But the problem is the POA and the POI are a little off, I can live with it because it's dead on but about 5 to 6 low at 40 yds. The mag blends did so so, wasn't really impressed personally and the 3.5 2.25 oz winchester #6's really was the best but again shot low, the mags low and left, not a bad shell but I just had higher hopes for them!
This bird was SUPPOSED to be my Z7's first harvest, but he didn't want to follow his cute little Jenny in to talk to the decoys for an up close and personal meet-n-greet. Instead, he drifted off towards the hedgerow of the field (that was a lasered 40 yards from the blind) and gave her a few impatient "c'mon honey, stop chatting and let's go" clucks. I clucked once to get the neck stretch and sent a load of 3-1/2" Nitro H517 (4x5x7) his way out of my 26" SBE II with a .660 Rhino. He dropped in his tracks.
