I bought my SBE II about six years ago and it happened to be early spring before turkey season. I didn't think much of it then, but the first rounds through the gun were turkey loads. I patterned a couple different boxes of 3in. mags maybe 10-15 rounds total. The gun has pretty much been flawless. It failed to cycle a second round last December on pheasant in SD, but it was below 0 and I probably didn't get all the excess oil wiped out. Just my observations.
