20ga Benelli M2 Synthetic 26" *Lead Approved*

Ever thought about going to a 20ga rather than a 12ga and wondered what advantages you’d get?

For years the “Twenty” has had the huge advantage of being lighter and faster. Recently 20 gauge factory lead loads of 36 gram (1 1/4oz) have made the gauge as grunty as the loads most commonly used in 12 gauge.

Well now it’s a better time to change than ever.  With the recent steel shot law for waterfowl hunting ammo has become both expensive and less effective. Having to use steel in a 12ga we have seen a average price rise in a pack of 12ga of around $5 per pack which is not good at all. Well here is the answer; the new rules exclude other gauge shotguns because manufacture of the ammo would be too difficult to setup, in other words you can use lead on the pond while the others use steel!! The big question is “Won’t 20ga be useless on ducks?” Simple answer is; “No.”  The pattern and spread is very similar to the 12ga in fact many say the 20 gauge is better.

The M2 is the workhorse of the Benelli semi-auto line. Light, nimble, but ruggedly built, the Benelli M2 is built around the ultra reliable Inertia Driven bolt mechanism. The Inertia Driven system allows the M2 to digest nearly any 12-ga. cartridge, from 2-3/4" target loads to the heaviest 3" magnums.

Benelli engineers have also adapted the ComforTech recoil system for the M2. This revolutionary system reduces felt recoil by up to 48%, and cuts muzzle climb by 15%. When combined, this puts the shooter back on target up to 69% faster than with any other comparable semi-auto shotgun. The M2 is not only faster, but with the new ComforTech system, it’s arguably the most comfortable shotgun you will ever shoot.

To put more pellets on target the M2’s barrel and chokes are cryogenically treated, frozen to -300° F, which changes the bore surface at the molecular level making it more uniform and relieving stresses in the steel. The end result is a denser and more uniform pattern that puts up to 13.2% more pellets on target.

The M2 is a workhorse with the speed of a thoroughbred.
