Has anyone shot one for ducks and geese? I got a deal that I couldn't pass up and now Im a new benelli owner :chuckle: I want to use it for ducks and geese but was wondering how it worked in the cold especially. Im not to worried about early season but when it freezes outside i want to know if i can rely on it
-
Works great. I know several guys that still shoot them. I sold mine and just use the SBEII
-
I used mine while pheasant hunting in a blizzard in Michigan a couple of years ago. Never failed despite ice build up in the action.

Thanks for the input. that was what i was hoping to hear. Cant wait to get it out for the late mallards
-
I think you got yourself a good shooter.
-
Mine only froze once, but it was 11 below that morning and i was able to tget it to shoot, the action was just really slow. But thats expected of any autoloader when it gets cold out. I love mine, put over 700 rounds through mine last season and killed a lot of ducks.

These guys are all smoking crap, that is one of the worst guns to come out sense the blunderbuss. Did you pay more than $100 for it? Hope not. Tell you what though I do have just a little space in the gun safe I need to fill so I'll give you $100 sense you really didn't know what you where doing at the time.

it was free haha. hard to pass up a deal like that. never even shot just a little rust on the barrel. Cleaned it up and got a nice new duck gun. gota retire the old 870 now

I have a home for that 870... :tup:
That dog will hunt just fine.
