figgy Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 (edited) Seen this on you tube this afternoon and didn't realise it's just been released. The specs look good, been designed to be used with cold hands and gloves. Only downside is recommended minimum load is 1 1/8th 32g carts. Rules out clay loads until fully ran in and even then probably only the punchier loads. Edited January 17, 2017 by figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ttfjlc Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Seen this on you tube this afternoon and didn't realise it's just been released. The specs look good, been designed to be used with cold hands and gloves. Only downside is recommended minimum load is 1 1/8th 30g carts. Rules out clay loads until fully ran in and even then probably only the punchier loads. Looks nice, I take it the minimum 32g loads might be just to help bed it in quicker?

figgy Posted January 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Think to bed that bad boy in they will recommend something heavy and fast probably 31/2" 50g.

johnnytheboy Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Allot of folk put upgraded Wolff springs in their sbe2 for duck and goose shooting, maybe they are trying to capture the trend towards these type of upgrades Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudpatten Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 If I read it right they`ve made a few mods, apart form those already mentioned here, to cure the SBE 2 fault of the "Benelli Click" where the bolt does not lock home. If it`s no more than a beefier stock spring then I`ll be sticking with my SBE2. It`ll be interesting to see what they`ve done to it. I just hope they`ve avoided the Beretta trait of changing things simply for the sake of change and novelty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokersmith Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Anyone have insight on when we'll see these over here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted February 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Looking online Americans are calling it the Ethos Wildfowlers as it's the same basic gun as the Ethos with the new bolt so no Benelli click anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnytheboy Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 Just as a side note, I bought an a400 xtrema and there is a big sticker on the box to only use 32g cartridges until run in it will increase the life of the gun, the problem is it doesn't say how many! Maybe a new trend by benelli/beretta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted October 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 2k is way over price for a fowling gun. That nearly four Winchester SX4 guns. They are not worth it, price will soon drop to £1500 Mark I’d wait for a good used or ex demo one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry78 Posted October 18, 2017 Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 Yes figgy 2 grand a lot of cash for a fowling piece But mate uses a benelli he thinks there the best autos out there Although thats not my opinion im sure the price will drop after they come out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted October 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 Gerry I used a Benelli M2 and it’s been a great gun don’t need to strip and clean all the time But for Wildfowling a sx at the right price takes some beating with 3/12” chamber shame mine never fitted me right. Still think the SX3 is the best I’ve used, light easy on the shoulder and not hard to clean just fires the empties into the next county.

Gerry78 Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 Figgy im not degrading Benelli Guns I think there great guns i know plenty of fowlers who swear by them I just think they can be a bit expensive for duck shooting IVE always used Browning Autos As you say SX3 the best you have shot you get a gun that fits you and your happy then theres no need to spend a fortune Brought a Bakial O/U once to a partridge shoot it caused me 120 pound the guy on the next peg was using a brand new beretta silver hawk s/s i shot double the birds he did as are pegs were getting all the action lol So you dont have to spend thousands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
