You can adjust it to shoot where you point it!

My gunsmith was also hesitant to drill/tap my M2 for the scalarworks mount. He said the metal very thin for the front screws. I ended up using a sumtoy mount

    i just bought a Franchi Aff3 20g predrilled/tapped. scalarworks mount w/ Aimpoint T1 is going on it as soon as it gets dipped + cerakote job.

Just curious which model of the retay did you purchase? Thank you

Finished up my first year with the M2 Compact and can say I was extremely pleased.  I had been shooting an 1187 compact for several years and wanted to try a weight decrease.  Smooth shooting, POI was dead on (I still used iron sights, but that is a preference of mine), and a very consistent pattern.

Def a 100% buy it again review from me.

M2 for dedicated turkey.

SBE3 for all purpose.

My son bought a SBE 3 20ga to replace his 20ga Beretta A400, we patterned it with Apex TSS #9 and point of aim was perfect over its bead. He loves the gun and has taken four turkeys with it over the last two seasons. I also shoot a Benelli but personally I would also take a look at the Franchi Affinity.

M2. all of my benellis shoot high or "over the bead." its a european thing where the wing shooters swing the bead under the target.

for a dedicated turkey gun where you'll add a red dot with a solid mount (like Scalarworks)--- i'd buy the Franchi, which is made by Benelli. I bought a 20 Franchi because they come drilled/tapped. M2s do not and their top receiver has a thin wall. was told that by Benelli and my gunsmith....

M2/Montefeltro 20ga receivers are very thick on the 1/3 towards the back. They are perfect for a sumtoy or burris mount with x2 8-40 screws.
