What snowdog left out was the price. The SBE is definitely one of the best autoloaders ever made, and it dang well should be since they cost 1200 bucks even on sale. I hunt deer with several guys who use them, and the gun doesn't make them kill any more deer. What it comes down to is the skill of the person using the gun. With all that being said, if I ever hit the lottery I will probably buy 3. One for me, one for dad, and one for my boy when he gets old enough.
