Title: Fast Turn Around on Benelli Repair
Post by: sakoshooter on December 16, 2015, 09:10:57 PM: My LH SBEII was sent back by Cabelas(purchased from them), repaired and returned in under 3 wks. Picked it up tonight. Anxious to make it go bang.

Sometimes easier to fix on own. They will send you the parts and your not out $48 to ship it due to required insurance.

I don't think they are made for the inconsistent pressure they exert. When I told him what I was shooting, he said that explains it. Remington had to make some improvements and re-designs on there Versa Max to handle them as well. The ammo was making parts guns out many autos. Along with about 40% more felt recoil if your shooting stuff in the 1,450fps field.

I am done shooting them. Better patterns with the current ammo I shoot and I don't have lead and follow through issues like some. That is why many use it as it can shorten your lead by 8" at 40 yards. For the wear and tear on your gun and body, not worth it. Probably easier on you through a gas gun if you do choose to shoot them.
