Well I shot skeet with the new gun, I will now say I am really really looking forward to this waterfowl season. This could possibly be the finest shotgun, dedicated for waterfowl, that I've ever owned. I actually shot low house 8 without putting the gun to my shoulder and the recoil is just not there. Granted I'm shooting light loads but it feels like a .410. It cycled 1oz as well as 1 1/8, it's light weight makes it lightning fast, a little too quick sometimes, but a real joy to shoot. It is everything it is advertised to be. The recoil reduction of 30% might be a little underestimated, I wish I could have afforded one and they would have been available back in the day I was walking all over the place quail and pheasant hunting.
If anyone is looking to purchase a new waterfowl shotgun please please take a close look at the new SBEII, I know the cost is up there for new shooters and those on a budget but the gun is worth it. If you have the opportunity to try one please do, I let a 12yr old shot it and he had no trouble handling this light weight gun. Ideal for those of us who have a hard time handling heavier guns but still want/need the 12ga.
