I havent brought it to the shop... It has only done this to me a few times before i realized what it was doing. didnt know if there was a tighter spring you can add to it to keep it closed at all times. I have a bad habit of fidling with the chamber when no birds are around so i had to quit doing that 1st. 2nd i was placing the the gun with the chamber down on my shoulder during slow times... guess when i unshouldered it pulled back just enough for the pin not to catch. Didnt know if someone had experience with a gunsmith who solved this problem?!!?!?!?

I happen to own both the Benelli (M2) and Beretta (A400). Beretta hands down is the more reliable. It has never jammed; the Benelli jams up on just about any load from 1 1/4oz to heavy 3" duck loads.

I ended up buying the new A400. I told the guy at shooters I wanted to check out the SBE 2 and the A400 with intentions on buying the beretta....He picked up the Benelli first and went to check the chamber and the gun jammed, I held the gun and it didn't feel right to me. Moved onto the Beretta and knew it was gonna be mine. I've done some clay shooting 2 times since I got the gun, shot about 100rds of 2 3/4 1 1/8oz trap shot and have no problems yet. The gun is awesome and swings and shoots very well. With that load I literally feel no recoil at all...I'm sure it will be amplified with a 3.5 mag load for goose hunting or even a 3" #2 load but if I'm feeling almost nothing with a 2 3/4 then I should be plenty happy. I'll be shooting again this week so I plan on trying out some different rounds to see how it handles em. Oh and it also cycled the 2 3/4 as fast as I could pull the trigger. Love my new gun and it came with a pretty nice case also.

You will really enjoy it. It's a great gun. Congrats on the new meat stick.

great choice. got mine last year and absolutely love it. very little felt recoil even with the 3" loads. I dont hate my shoulder enough to consistently shoot 3.5's but the few I have put threw it felt better than any other gun I've shot.

i own Both the Xtrema 2 and the New Xtreme, i hate both of them , i just bought a New Browning Maxus , i bought Automatics and have both Beretta's worked on repeatedly for Jamming, i guess im just the unfortunate customer who has puchased 3000 worth of guns that will only shoot 1 or 2 times , dont count on 3 shots in a row not going to happen very often , i clean them all the time , doesnt help .

connordrake 08-20-2013 08:00 PM

and illl be glad to sell 1 or both of them . if i would have wanted a single shotgun i would have bought 1 , brought it back to Shooters to trade it for a Browning , they wouldnt even give me a trade number said they had toooo many of them already .

Bdub 08-20-2013 08:41 PM

Funny you say that, I shot doubles all afternoon Sunday. I would take that up with Beretta instead of Shooters...I'd bet they get that taken care of with the price of these guns.

If you replace the cocking actuator handle with the big heavy tactical one from an M-3 it will add some weigh t and reduce this. 35.00 fix. Or just get used to checking the bolt until the gun wears in a few thousand rounds later.

Anyone purchased one of the lower end shotguns that seem to be advertised weekly by academy?
