I recently purchased the Benelli M2 and could not be more happier. 26" barrel in Bottomland. Fellow member/friend sent me the link that was posted in the gun thread from a place in Missouri, Dunns Sporting goods. Paid for it online on a Friday and picked it up from local gun store the following Wednesday. The next morning took it teal hunting, 1st three shells out the barrel produced 3 dead teal. Love everything about it and can't wait to shoot more ducks and hopefully turkey come spring. Previously, I have been shooting a Beretta 390a, which continues to be a great gun and will always stay in my possession. As much as I hate to say it (simply because the amount of death the Beretta has produced), I like the Benelli more(pending turkey season review lol).
