I really wanted a semi-auto shotgun that I could swap a longer barrel on to for bird hunting and finally landed on the Benelli M2 Tactical. Found this one here on EE and it looks brand new. I tossed a Nordic extension on it along with Scalarworks RMR mount. I have an Agency Arms forend on the way.
Finally got a chance tonight to get it out and do some shooting. I put 100 rounds of cheap birdshot through it and 50 rounds of 00 buckshot. Not a single malfunction, which surprised me with the cheap birdshot. Very happy with this shotgun. 1 1/8oz 7 1/2 shot  Attached File Attached File |

Very nice!! What choke tube you running? What did it cost without the extension?

Have never had a malf with mine. Also have an RMR mounted, fwiw.

You might like this (Redneck Tactical bolt release) After everything I read I fully expected it to choke on the cheap birdshot but was pleasantly surprised. I use the push pull method when shooting so I don't know if that has any kind of impact on how the gun operates. Anyway, I brought a pile of buckshot along thinking that's all I'd be able to reliably shoot. That bolt release looks pretty sick. |

Love the M2.
The stock is on the long side. Mesa Tactical makes a shorter stock for it that is a lot more affordable than the Benelli youth stock. Be sure to use the stock shims to adjust drop and cast to you. |

Reliability ‘issues’ with the Benelli M2 are WAY overblown on the internet. I own three - including one with easily more than 7,500 shells through it - and they are fantastically reliable with all sorts of ammunition. This gun is actually 100% reliable with the Federal Top Gun Extra Lite 7/8 oz 12 gauge shell. They do however require a couple cases through them to be fully broken in.

M2s are so reliable they are boring.
