SBR's shot low for most folks...Hence the high rib on the SBE2. The biggest diff. is the SBE2 will not do the famous "Benelli Shuffle"... On the old guns you could hide a shell on the carrier and the gun would feed it. Thus, a gun properly plugged to hold two shells in the magazine would hold a total of 4 shells and feed them all. The USFWS asked for the change. The new guns are not nearly as popular with waterfowl hunters as the old ones. It is a common practice now to buy a new gun and install the bolt out of an old one, then sell the old gun with the new bolt. You will find many old guns on dealers racks that will only shoot 3 times! Imiagine! The idea of being legal and able to cheat sold many SBE's in Arkansas. They even began to call them "The Arkansas Purdy"
