Detailed Features
The SBE III handles 2¾", 3", and 3½" chambers, which covers nearly every 12-gauge load on the market including heavy turkey and waterfowl shells. The Burris FastFire II mounted optic speeds up target acquisition considerably over a bead sight, particularly on a moving bird at odd angles. The SteadyGrip stock is designed for turkey setups where the gun rests on a knee and you need a vertical grip for a precise shot. Crio chokes (Cylindrical, Improved Modified, Full) are included for adjusting pattern density to the situation.
Target Audience
Turkey hunters are the primary audience given the camo, SteadyGrip stock, and optic combination. It also works for waterfowl and other semi-auto shotgun applications where a 3½" chamber is useful.
Usage Scenarios
For turkey hunting the SteadyGrip stock and FastFire II optic are a sensible pairing. You're often taking a deliberate, close shot from a seated or kneeling position. The Bottomland camo blends well across a range of woodland and brush environments. The 3½" chamber capability means you're not limited in load selection during waterfowl season either.
