About to buy one of the 2, what’s the major differences that anyone knows of? I love the M2 but just wondering if the price difference is worth it. It’ll be just for turkey hunting and 20 gauge

I have an M2 and bought my son an affinity. I really like the affinity and would buy it if I was getting another one.

I own both and hunt with both. The optional Comfortech stock is the primary advantage to the M2 over the Affinity. Having said that I’m a huge Affinity fan. Lots of bang for the buck.

Don't have m2 but I've put a lot of shells thru the affinity and even more thru an old franchi al48 20 gauge.. never had hiccup in either one I wish that 48 would take a choke tho it'd be my turkey gun then

My daughter has inherited my Affinity. Affinity is a shooter with the right choke/combo. I’ve had zero reliability issues at this point. Gun is several years old. Killed plenty turkeys and dove with it.

You just got to watch which loads you run. I’ve
Heard some of the factory 3” shells won’t feed, but that’s not specific to the Affinity from
my understanding. If you are roll crimping, you’ll have to watch the length.

I have no experience with the Affinity but I've been pleased with my M2 20ga the little bit I've used it thus far.

Best I can tell is comfort tech stock and the forend is a little longer than on the m2, everything else is very similar

Nice gun! Those montefeltro's are fine shooting guns! Does that montefeltro have sling attachments on it? I have an affinity that is a sweet shooting gun.
