Has anyone on here ever expierenced any problems with this gun? This is my first year to use it and it has done well so far.

All posts will help.

Thanks

I have a black SBE with a 24" bbl. It is one of the older ones and I have about 13,000 rds. through it with NO problems. The owners manual that came with mine said the first 100 rds. you put through it should be 1 1/8oz. or heavier. I put 100 rds. of 1 1/4oz. #4's through it for starters and have never looked back. It cycles ANY 2 3/4" loads without a problem. I think you will be happy with yours.

You should try on a "waterfowl only" site and see what is being said.Seems like there are as many that are not pleased as those that like it. A 50/50 ratio ain't nothing to be proud of!!

I have had only one slight problem with my SBE II. If I am manually loading the gun, the rotating bolt occasionally hangs.
