I hate to regurgitate an old thread, but I'm a little excited. I just picked up my SBE II from the store. I went with the Comfortech in black synthetic with a 26" barrel. Life is good.
I bought a Mossberg 835 in 1990, right out of college. I think it was the first year the 3.5" was introduced, IIRC. Funny, I paid $339 for it and I believe they are less than that in 2006. I have used that gun for EVERYTHING.......pheasants, grouse, squirrel, geese and ducks, rabbit, deer, and it was even my trap gun. I've used it as a canoe paddle as well; I'll never say a bad thing about her. I'll miss the old girl, but maybe I'll make my sons suffer with it for a few years when they're old enough to hunt.
I havn't shot the SBE yet; do you think I'll notice a difference between the SBE and my Mossy 835?
