I've heard there are some changes for 04 but dont know what they are. Can anybody enlighten me?
and when can I expect to see them at my local dealer?

Thanks Dave.

Come on girl, cant you give us just a hint.My wife was going to buy a SBE for Christmas until I heard that something new was coming out, told her to hold up. Guess I will have to wait till after Christmas. Already own two benelli autos, but not the SBE, they are wonderful one is about 11 years old and it sure is sweet. Thanks in advance drake99

Backboring
The same choke tubes used in the Beretta Extema
Stainless steel parts like the SRM System
The new camo pattern that can be used for almost everything
The beretta Geltek pad

I'll just repeat what I've heard:

SBE II
-Longer choke tubes, Crios like the Sport II, they work very well with Hevishot.
- The barrel will be a Crio barrel, some believe it patterns better.
- Max 4 camo as an option.
- Forcing cone lengthened.
- Backbored barrel.
- Gel recoil pad & gel grips.
- Recoil suppressor installed.

I have heard the new retail cost is $75-$150 more than the 2003 price.

I have also heard that the SBE and SBE II will be sold side by side for several years.

I guessing (just guessing) that Benelli will lower the price of the original SBE to keep it selling, and create a price spread to make the SBE II a premium priced gun.

While I'm sure the II will sell great, I still love my original SBE. It's smooth as glass going into it's 13th season of hard use.

These features are going to be included in the M1 too.

If the tubes are long like the sport they will be optima or optima plus if back bored. I have a Sport II & the bore is .724. My SBE is 12 + yrs & the bore is .721.

When can we expect to see these out on the market
or in our local gun shop?

You've all been very helpful, I think Im going to wait for the SBEII to come out and see what the price will be. But I have till now to save the $$$

Thanks Dave
