I have a Franchi I-12 which has pretty much the same gun as the SBE, but it only shoots 3 inch. It is an awesome gun except for one problem. My bolt handle keeps falling out. At the beginning of hunting season last year it fell out and I lost it. It was out of commission for the rest of the season. I finally found a replacement bolt handle online and had it ready to go for this season. I only got to hunt with it a few times this year and the handle fell out again. I am going to send it back to franchi and make them either replace the bolt or fix the problem.
