rookstorm Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 Hi anybody patterned their benelli sbe2 ,i did the other day and was surprised to find it was almost missing the centre circle at 20 yards ,i dropped the stock with the supplied shim and its lowered it a bit but still a tad high for my liking. Spoke to benelli the answer i got was its meant to fire slightly high so you can see what your firing at by aiming slightly below the bird you can see it at all times. I never see my barrel anyway when shooting how would i not see the bird? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 Are you missing with it on clays or live qaurry? If it's close just shoot it and you will soon get used to it. My M2 shoots slightly high compared to my other guns I just swing it along the bottom of everything and it's usually fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rookstorm Posted January 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) I thought about lengthening the stock 10 mm as it feels just a tad short ,what will this do to my point of aim ,ive had conflicting replies from facebook some say high some say it will lower it. Ive made up a 10mm carboard butt pad and sellotaped it on lol going to try it tomorrow. Factory benelli sbe2,s come with a 25mm butt pad but they do one in 35mm,,,,,,,,,,,, £90 ouch Edited January 13, 2017 by rookstorm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rookstorm Posted January 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 I can hit twenty three at skeet with it but when i put half choke or tighter for game and wildfowl its like 10/90 % on pattern plate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GADWALL41 Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) Hello, this chart will help you out a little . I am going through a Change of gun myself through this season and even though I have the gun laser sighted to mount bang on dead centre , the gun is still shooting low ( as per the I net review of same) so it looks like an adjustable comb for me after the Season . Adjust LOP before you purchase another pad or a pad extension, or as I have some strips of leather ( on my comb) . Hope it helps a bit.

figgy Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Legthening the stock will push the point of impact down but only so much.. stock shims is the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rookstorm Posted January 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Where it says stock too short ,comb too high is exactly where 90% of the pattern is .It will be the stock length im sure certainly not my head. Thanks guys will let you know. Where will i get stock shims for a benelli you can just pull the butt pad off it clicks in???? ,not screwed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_R Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 You could just slip a Beartooth or similar butt pad over the existing one. That's how my own M2 has been for years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rookstorm Posted January 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 I take it the bear tooths are ok ,do they mount against your jacket ok ,in other words do they not snag the material Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_R Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Never had any trouble with Beartooth at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 You can either buy the long pad and pop the old out and new one in. Or buy a adapter that takes normal pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rookstorm Posted January 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) I went to my local gunsmith and he made a shim and plate for me , it now shoots bang on where im looking . The c shim they supply doesnt move the comb down very much .Trying to get a d shim and plate was impossible . Why do these companies not issue the full set of shims ? MONEY probably the answer to that one when they know the gun shoots so high there will be a market for the shim that doesnt come supplied with a £2000 gun. Thanks guys for all your help, hit some cracking pigeons with it today stewart Edited January 18, 2017 by rookstorm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) you can fit the larger comb if you need to, but looks like your shooting well with it now. Edited January 23, 2017 by figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motty Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 So it wasn't the gun that was shooting high, it just didn't fit you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rookstorm Posted January 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Yes the gun was shooting high because the comb was too high Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
