Title: Opinions on Benelli M2 20ga 24in Barrel?
Post by: Antleraddict62 on March 29, 2020, 06:40:17 PM
I have a Franchi affinity 2 drilled and tapped with a FF3 but my wife wants it so thinking of giving it to her and going with a M2. I plan on setting the M2 up the same with a FF3, how is the Crio barrel? I shoot mainly TSS! Can y'all provide me with pros/cons of this gun? Thanks guys god bless!

I've got one with a 26 inch barrel the 24 would be perfect .

I have a 24" barrel M2, and it shoots great.  I would however just get an Affinity compact if I was going to do it again.  They shoot the same and are both quality guns, one just cost way more.

Cant comment on the Franchi never shot one but I love my M2 with the 24 inch barrel.

I have the 24" M2 20 and really prefer it.  You don't sacrifice anything in terms of patterns w the shorter barre but you can maneuverability in an ultralight package. Mine is equipped with an Indian Creek .555
and I shoot 1 5/8s 9s or 8x10s.

If you look hard in the right places they can be found for 1k.
