Sbe3 or m2

Post by aristico »

Ok here is my dilemma....

Buy an SBE3 at three hundred dollars off or a 20ga M2 at full price? Sbe 3 would still be about 150 more but that 300 bucks off is tempting.....

Right now I have a 20 Franchi Affinity and a Stoeger 3500 one of those will go with the new purchase...

I would get the m2 20 gauge. To me, it just feels/balances better than any other shotgun. I have a m2 12 gauge and I will be adding a 20 in the near future.

I have owned the SBE and the SBE2 and loved the 2. To me the 3 doesn’t justify the higher cost. I would try and buy a SBE2 instead.

As far as the 20’s I would like a M2 20 compact

My original SBE had a 28” barrel then bought a 24”

Found a SBE2 barrel with broke vent rib with stuck choke

Easily got the choke out lol

Popped off the rest of the rib then had it drilled tapped. Camouflaged and made it a dedicated turkey gun. Was stolen before I could kill another turkey with it after finished. Sucked

I also put SBE2 stocks and forearm on it. I filed the receiver to fit the thinner SBE2 stock and steady grip
