H&K Benelli SBE 1

[smalljawbasser]

What are these selling for currently in the real world? Realtree camo, it had been used extensively but functions like they are supposed to.

There are 8 on GB that actually sold. $1521 was the lowest, $3525 was the highest. Most were in the high teens. Only one was camo and it was the $1521. It appears H&K manufactured Benelli's are collectables that were imported.

Typically like new to new in box brings the big money.

Thank you all for the help.

Every time I look these up I think I should probably sell the 2 we have left. Both are 28" Realtree - factory cardboard boxes - all the accessories - one is 98% the other 95% ..

HK never manufactured these. They imported them. I don't see what the big deal is, but collectors like to obsess over silly things.

Had 2 of them shouldn't have sold them when I did. Should have held out. One had a 24" barrel one a 26" both mint sold them for 1k a piece 13 years ago. They are solid but a bit heavy for my taste. And the 24" kicked like 2 borrowed mules with a 2 7/16 nitro turkey load. I prefer the m2 over the sbe line myself.

I have 3, all black synthetic. One w 26 barrell l hunt with every day. 2 with 28 barrells mint, in the safe. No, not for sell. I love the H&Ks.

Do you wanna sell?

Traded half a days labor for one many years ago. Used it as a turkey gun for several years. I believe the sbe 1 is one of the guns that is able to "float " a shell.

 

[Westtnduckhtr]

Yes they do float, along with the Stoeger 2000. Have both, but a fourth shell is not necessary. Had all the models of SBE 12's, got rid of them except for my mint HK SBE. A not for sale safe queen, I guess I will give away some day to a niece or nephew.

found a lefty the other day. I honestly didn't know they even made a lefty original.

What's so special about them vs the others? Forgive me for my ignorance fellas…

They are heavier, uglier, less ergonomic, but they will not stop shooting. Kinda like the A5 in my book. The new ones are cool and all but you put a round knob blue and wood A5 for the glory days of duck hunting in your hands and you just feel the difference.
