I made it through the entire season without my shotgun breaking. Then I took it out this last Saturday and the ejection plate snapped in two pieces on my Benelli SBEII. It is shipping back tomorrow as it it scared it up pretty good as I thought it was hanging up on the light trap loads and shot another 2 rounds. Simple fix, but some filing is now required.

My escort mag. started having cycling problems halfway through the season.
My freind, a machinist, gave me some dry-lube they use at work.
Cleaned the gun, sprayed it with the dry-lube, never had another problem.

the stock on my maxus came loose. I am pretty sure it was my fault, I forgot to put lock tite on the stock bolt after messing with the fit shims :bdid:.

What are they going to do? Is it a newer gun? I hope it is

The stock on my 870 snapped and some plastic got wedged between the choke and barrel, when I got in my car wreck.

No issues for both of my Benelli's. But then again, I haven't tried putting light loads through them as that's been the knock on them. If I wanted to shoot clays with them is their a lighter 2 3/4" load that you guys recommend?
Don't mean to jack the thread, but hearing about benelli's and the hang up of not good on shooting light loads, I'd like to hear what might be recomended.

no problems with the nova... they are indestructible.

My guns performed flawlessly but my buddy’s SBE-II caught a bad case of the Benelli Click late in the season. Hope he gets that worked out.

My husband's 7mm trigger broke at the end of season last year on a 3 point blacktail (which he never got) and had it fixed before season this year. My daughter had a missfire on her doe this year but put another in and finished the job. That's the only problems we had.

first year with my Benelli Nova and not one single problem with it! I was VERY pleased with it! Definitely a HUGE Benelli fan now! :IBCOOL:

That dam benelli click is famous

My M2 worked well this season, had like 2 jams, and 1 fail to fire, but that was because it was -11 degrees and I had somehow gotten a tiny bit of miosture on the bolt head in the firing pin hole. But other than that it worked very well, it seems to get a little slow at times, especially below 20 degrees, but still cycles everytime. Probably put 1 and a half cases through it this waterfowl season.

I did not get my shotty out of the safe at all for duck this year. Not one day on the water, not one shot fired. Spent all my free time working on the house. :'(
-
Bps and mossy 500 both guns are still going strong without a hiccup :)
-
I sent it back to the factory to have them go through it again. I think I only had about 28 cases of steel shot through it as well. Last year I purchased a back up SBE. Last night I picked up a deal on a Berretta Extrema II, so I will see how I like that as well.
I sent Benelli a letter to see what the life expectancy was on one of there shotguns. I seem to wear them out a little quicker than most.
-
I'd like to hear your thoughts on the extrema. Jon and the boys down at Cedarville swear by them, and they put some shells through em'.
-
My browning BPS broke down on me...not sure what the deal is. It will click but not fire. I need to tear it down and get to work on it before turkey season!
I'm pretty hard on that gun, so it's not a suprise it's messed up.
-
My rusty SBE missed a duck this year. Thought about giving it away but I'm a forgiving guy :hello:
-
I just picked up the Berretta Extrema 2, but haven't had a chance to shoot it yet. Still waiting for my Benelli SBEII to come back from the factory.

I've shot everything you can imagine outa my sbe2.....I ran several cases of walmart value pack 1 oz dove loads through it last september......In fact I have put thousands and thousands of rounds through it over the last couple years and I have never had a jam.
as for low base like I said I have never had a problem with any load or brand...if I was worried about it though I would make sure I was shooting shells with at least 3dram of powder
