I am looking at an all purpose shotgun and am leaning towards the SBE II (yes, more expensive than what I would need to spend for my purposes, butI am30 and planto getmany years ofuse from it beforepassingit ontomy son).I will mainly use it for Turkey, but would like to be able to use it for any shotgun need, including trying out sporting clays and joining friends for the occational fowl hunting trip. The gentleman at the sporting goods store implied the SBE II may have difficulty cycling lighter loads. Is there any one that uses or has tried a SBE II with lighter target loads that can report on the performance of cycling?

If target loads would be problematic, and I still wanted to use a SBE II what is the lightest load that would cycle well and on average what would be the differance in cost for an evening of shooting sporting clays? (If I only shoot a few times a summer the extra cost of using more expensive shells may not be that much of a factor.)

I appreciate your shared experiences.
