Looking at my crystal ball, I see myself becoming a firefighter so that I can get the additional 10% discount.

Skeet,

You know I have been mulling over buying the SBE II, but I had just convinced myself that I didn't actually need it because my current SBE is doing just fine and the recoil is a lot less now that I have the reducer in the stock.

Plus, I have a 20 ga. 391 for upland hunting when carrying a heavier gun would be a pain.

I think I am going to pass on the SBE II, but you can let me shoot a couple rounds out of yours if we ever get together to hunt this season. I am going to used the saved money to buy an AR-10, and possibly a Ruger MKII VT .25-06. I have two other guns on the purchase list, but that probably won't happen this year.

Packer Backer,

The 26" barrel should be just fine. I have one shotgun, a Browning BPS, with a 26" barrel, and I also have a 30" barrel for that gun. I never really noticed the difference between any of the barrel lengths on any of my barrels, and I have shotgun barrels ranging from 26" to 34".

Have a good time with the new gun.
