Get a 26, not a 24. If you are planning on hunting in a duck blind, you buddys will be glad you did. The 26 will also have better resale, although, I wouldn't never get rid of mine. Love em. Best auto made! The SBE 1s would float a fourth shell, they changed the bolt so the SBE 2s wouldn't. The sbe2s will float a fourth shell with a slight modification, but you really don't need it. They will cycle any load. If you are serious, consider the American SBE2. Its the same exact gun, from Benilli, it comes with a camo stock, not comfort tech, and a camo forearm, with the standard black matte receiver and barrel. The price is around 1200 versus 1600 for the regular SBE2. The only difference in the guns is the American only has three choke tubes instead of five, doesn't come with a shim kit, and a plain solid stock instead of the comfort teck stock. I sold my comfort tech stock the day I bought mine, and ordered the plain stock from Benelli. Dirt and water tends to get inside the rubber inserts. You wont regret buying one, and they hold their value better than anything on the market. Man, I should work for Benilli!
