Barrel Length Benelli M2
December 30, 2022, 09:33:08 AM
I got a Benelli M1 with a 26 inch barrel and a Rob Roberts 570 that I really like but since the wife is going to start hunting I'm thinking of buying another gun. Looking at a Benelli M2 with a 24 inch barrel. Or a Super Black Eagle 20 Any benefits or disadvantages of the 24 inch gun besides easy to maneuver around?

24 is a great length. Some upland or sporting shooters may like a longer barrel, but nothing to do with the guns accuracy and not significant velocity affected.

I set my m2 12ga up with a 21" barrel. Took me forever to find that barrel. It patterned as well as the 26" barrel on my SBE II, so no sacrifice there, and it was lighter, and much easier to maneuver around the woods. Shorter is better for a turkey gun as far as I'm concerned. With todays chokes and loads, you're not giving anything up in the way of patterns.
