lovely light and smooth handling gun that will handle lighter loads as it’s gas operated. The other one I would throw into the mix if you just want a pure semi is the Beretta 1301 comp.
#Benelli m2 speed pro
The M3 is heavier but that equates to less felt recoil over a days shooting, also mine is now sporting Truglo pro series turkey sights and is remarkably accurate with rifled slug. The M2 is a very good gun and IME less fussy than the M3 and is fairly tuneable but I just got bored with mine. The party trick is that little switch at the front, you can enter multiple classes with one gun. Get that right and it is an animal as my shooting mates will attest. For mine has to be at least 32gm and fast. Have lighter trigger and hammer springs which have helped, also spending quite a bit of time playing with different shells to find the right one. It is shell fussy for the semi function as stated above as you need an unsubtle amount of energy. I have shot woodies with it but now it pretty much only comes out for PSG. If it has nothing to recoil against, the mechanism doesn't work properly.Ī very reliable shotgun when set up correctly, and of course, dont carbon up like a gas opped shotgun does.Īs above have owned both but only currently own the M3. It was always a problem when shooting from the hip in PSG. They are recoil operated, which means if you are slightly built, or haven't the upper body strength to absorb the recoil, the gun will short stroke or stovepipe. If you haven't shot a benelli, try one first. I think i've bought half a dozen over the years, and they were always good to deal with however. The tube nut is a different dimeter/thread to all the other benelli's out there, and they were expensive. Its main drawback when modifying though, is that, to the best of knowledge, there is only one company in the world that does an extended mag tube for it. The M3 is a switchable pump/semi, and good fun. The M2 Field’s ComforTech recoil reduction system includes both a ComforTech Gel Recoil Pad and a ComforTech Comb Pad.įinally, the Benelli M2 Field semi-automatic shotguns come standard with a nicely padded and compartmentalized hard case.The M2 is a cinch. M2 Fields utilize Crio barrels and beautifully machined Crio flush choke tubes. All this gives you plenty of choices that aim to please. You can even get them configured for left-handers. Their design hinges on few parts and thus all else being equal increased reliability. These guns are balanced in seemingly every way. It never needs adjusting, decreases maintenance, stays clean and more. It reduces recoil to produce faster follow-up shots. All this helps make the Inertia Drive system and even the entire gun so effortlessly reliable. The bolt head’s steel locking lugs mate tightly to the barrel’s steel with perfectly slick movement. This modular component includes three main parts: the inertia spring, rotating bolt head and the bolt body.

These guns use Benelli’s In-Line Inertia Driven system. The included shim kit is a nice touch allowing you to adjust stock drop and cast.

In front, each model wears a threaded red-bar front fiber optic sight. Similarly, depending on configuration, the M2 Fields weigh 5.6 to 7.2 pounds. The guns are about 21.3” longer than their barrels. Drop at heel is 2”, 2-1/4” or 2-3/8” depending on model. The two outliers have a 13-1/8” LOP instead. With a couple of exceptions, length of pull is 14-3/8″. M2 Fields are chambered for 2-3/4″ and 3″ and can handle target loads and light field loads of up to 3.0” Magnum shells. Anodized black receivers are paired with blued barrels and black synthetic stocks while the camo choices have their camo scheme swathed on their receivers, barrels and stocks. Receiver finishes include anodized black, Mossy Oak Shadow Grass Blades, GORE OPTIFADE Timber and Realtree Max-5. This means 21”, 24”, 26” and 28” barrel lengths. The M2 comes in a variety of lengths ranging from compact to full. This Made in Italy gun is trimmed with plenty of goodies. The Benelli M2 Field inertia-driven 12-gauge and 20-gauge 3+1 semi-automatic shotgun is modern, good looking, frighteningly fast, lightweight, rugged and reliable.
