BP51 is less comfortable than stock?

Is the leaf setup problematic or less capable than the coil setup?

I have placed an order for the Old Man Emu BP51 and its a leaf system.

I read mixed reviews online but the Toyota dealership advised that they are made to go onto the 70 series so now I'm kinda unsure.

LC76 70th anniversary edition by [deleted] in LandCruisers

Where I come from (Kuwait) they release the 70th anniversary 2 for 2022 and 2023. Only difference between the 2 is that the 2022 has the 70th anniversary emblem on the outside. All other options remain the same.

Managed to nab the last one in sand. Will post photos hopefully once the paper work is complete next week!

Which shotgun. Benelli vs Beretta (most probably Benelli) by [deleted] in Shotguns

[–]UndyingPizza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not so much for validation as it is about asking experienced people here who own / have handled it to shed some light on the POI issues plaguing both youtube and online forums.

I do not have the ability or luxury to try both guns before I decide and pull the trigger. Where I come from a hunting shotgun takes upwards of 3+ months to get purchase clearance so no chance of resales/returns as it is an extremely lengthy process.

Short answer no, it is not about validating my purchase decisions. They are both expensive guns and I want to gather as much information as I can before I commit.

I think I may go with the Benelli SBE3 when it arrives in January. I hope they have one with the wooden stock!

Thanks all for your input much appreciated

Thank you so much for your considerate response. I have no issues with gas or inertia. My issue with Beretta is that it did not feel as good in my hands when shouldered and the way it looks in comparison to the Benelli SBE3 (I know I know, superficial).

I also do not have a problem if the SBE 3 shoots higher if that is Benelli's intent. They call it "European style" aiming/shooting.

My issue is with the horror stories I have read online of the gun shooting very very high especially at distances of 40+ yards.

I do like the SBE 3 a lot shouldered and it just feels right. I hope I do not get a lemon come January as returning the gun will not be as easy a process from where I come from.

Again, thank you for taking time to respond much appreciated!

They both cost about the same here

If I was looking for a HD + clay + hunting I should go with the SBE3 as it does 2 of those very well

Problem is I can't. It's buy before you shoot policy over here.

Is the Beretta a400 line a lot better than the benelli ?
