Benelli M2 Shotgun

Postby Tyler8492 » Sat Mar 16, 2013 8:40 pm

I am looking to get a new a semi auto shotgun for waterfowl hunting. I was looking at the M2 shotgun from Benelli. I recently found one from Dicks Sporting Goods that was 1099, but it did not have the comfortech stock on it. People say that the inertia system kicks more than gas operated semi autos. With the intertia system and without the comfortech, is it going to have a major recoil or will it just have a normal 12 gauge recoil to it?

No, gas or inertia it's an auto and auto's don't kick hard.

Recoil shouldn't matter. If you want to gun go for it. I personally shoot a SBEll that does have the comforttech stock. It's no different than any other 12 gauge semi-auto I've shot. With or without comforttech.

I have gas and inertia driven autos, my inertia driven have pads on them but they have virtually no recoil. I can tell you that none of my auto's kick any near as hard as the super nova I have. That damn thing is a mule with 3.5's.

This. Ox is telling the truth.

You are over thinking this deal. Go get your M2. They are great guns. Mine has been thru hell and works like a champ.

My 870 pump has a 3/4 inch rubber pad and has very little recoil even with 3" shells. Any auto will have significantly less recoil than a pump, double, or single.

I have never shot an auto that had enough kick to complain about. If you like the way it feels buy it.

Does it kick harder than a pump or break action?

I own and have shot an Auto 5. Little different but the same style gun. Mine doesn't kick that hard, nowhere near as hard as an 870 kicks.

If you like the gun, go get it. Waterfowlers dont feel recoil.
