One of the best guns I've ever owned or shot. Their patented recoil system is amazing. I got rid of mine not for the way it performed, I just decided to stick to over and unders. I have a Beretta Teknys Gold, I got for some money a guy owed me, and its the only shotgun I've ever shot that I liked better than the SBE II.

I do not believe the SBE II is overated, But I know 3 1/2 inch shells are. They do not pattern as well, and most of the serious waterfowl hunters I know are getting away from them.
