Affinity vs M2

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

I have m2 sum toy choke , apex 9's wow I am thrilled
Friend has affinity same set up we are almost tit for tat on pattern board

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.

Are they both finicky about shell length?

Affinity - yes - from experience
M2 - yes - from hearsay

M1 - not sure yet but bout to find out soon. Will be patterning MOA soon.

My M1 20 is a beast with the MOA load. So is my M2’s too tho.

Went and checked both out and was gonna get the M2 just because I liked the feel better and they had a Montefeltro in bottomland so I got it

Nice gun Shaun

Mighty fine scattergun....who had those Montefeltro’s in Bottomland?

Saw it in a bass pro sales paper and did some searching and several places had em and all were the same price so I was in Leeds today and got it from Bass Pro

We picking up 3 affinity’s this saturday. Sweet gun for sure. Bottomland and already drilled and tapped

What’s the difference in the m2 and the monte? I almost bought the monte last week

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

What I was thinking with the monte being few hundred cheaper

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.

I have a Montefeltro 20ga I have dove hunted with for the last 12-13yrs. I shoot it a lot, dont maintain it very well and it has been flawless. I think you will like the gun.

Has one on the butt stock but not on the magazine cap, didn’t notice that until I got it home but they sell one that has it so I’ll be getting one

I’m sure Midwest gunworks seeks a swivel cap too.

Have you find a swivel cap for the monte? I have found black ones but none in bottom land

Crazy that a company like Benelli would have that oversight of not including a front sling swivel.
Might be worth a call to find out if it is the same thread pitch as the other 20gauges which might open up more options to search for.

Or buy a black one and live with it black or send it out to get dipped.

That’s the thing I have a sbe 1 and it has the swivel cap from factory! I might be weird but when I spend a grand on a gun I’d hate to order a $(0 dollar cap plus the cost to dip it and the possibility of it not matching the guns pattern. I have a few guns that are dipped it ain’t easy to match it up

I used one of these on a Beretta 390 that didn’t have a sling mount on magazine cap. Only downside is no quick disconnect but there’s ways around that depending on the sling you prefer.

I have an affinity and its the best shotgun I've ever had.

We pick our affinity’s up yesterday. Gun shoulders good and feel like we got a fair price on them. $750 each

Any sort of volume discount in buying 3?

we bought 4. Cheapest I had found before this guy was $790

Well the ole lady talked me into the m2! Didn’t like the new digital cano so went with a black gun to dip it any recommendations on some one to dip it in bottom land?

Take it up to ironhorse and do greenleaf dip on stock and forend and cerakote on metal.

I’ve got 3 up there right now. 2 of mine from head to toe GL and one for north40 getting a cerakote job. He is slam covered up with dipping these days.

Thanks fellas I’ll look into it!
