Oh No!! SBE II Problem???

[fabsroman]

kt,

I have two mercury recoil reducers for my SBE. One goes in the buttstock and replaces the buttstock bolt. You just take the recoil pad off, unscrew the buttstock bolt, screw the recoil reducer on with a huge screwdriver, and then replace the recoil pad. It really helps with the 3 1/2" shells and makes recoil on a 2 3/4" shell almost non-existant.

The other recoil reducer I have for the SBE goes on the magazine cap and I only use it while I am deer hunting and using slugs. The SBE with both recoil reducers on it is rather heavy and tough to carry all day, but it is great for sitting in a stand or in a blind. Without the magazine recoil reducer in it, I can still carry it all day long.

What made me get the recoil reducers was my purchase of a 391 Teknys that came stock with a recoil reducer in the buttstock. Not that I shot the SBE terrible beforehand, but I was shooting the 391 so well (i.e., 48 out of 50 in sporting clays and easily breaking 25 straight in skeet) that I started to wonder why. I came to the conclusion that recoil is my biggest enemy when shooting a bunch of shells.
