Do I personally believe they will fix it? Nope. Sorry I really don't. I've read enough input from owners of them over on the Benilli Forums to suspect you're pretty much out of luck. The consensus seems to be they keep them forever and usually return them in about the same condition as they got them. You might get lucky but I'd not bet on it. For some reason the guns under the Benilli corporate line don't seem well supported for warranty work if you believe the folks who own them and post on the corporate run forums.

Check with Briley. They used to do this kinda work. They some how made choke tubes with an offset or something that corrected for guns that shot to a point other than where you were looking. Not sure they still do but they might.

Bill,

I am a bit surprised to hear that Benelli has such a shoddy reputation for warranty repairs, but apparently they do have some issues. With this in mind, what are your feelings regarding the "quality" of their production shotguns? Every manufacturer has some guns that seem to sneek through quality control, but usually the customer can depend upon the warranty and the reputation of the company to stand behind its product.

Thanks,

Jay
