Just wondering if anyone here either owns one or has been around someone who does.
I was looking at them online,list price is right at 3k,they are definitely a nice looking gun,with plenty of bells and whistles.
Another question I had is has anyone had the forcing cones lengthened in their 20ga M2,I have read about guys having this done in plenty of 12ga. trap guns but not so much in 20ga hunting or sporting clays guns.
Just wondering if it helped patterns in general or not.
Thanks..........Greg
I think it's over priced and that work is over rated
Pretty common and easy to get 250-300 in the 10" with tss without any of all that extra work and cost

This for sure! Buy an M2, FF3, and choke.....spend the extra $1500 on ammo.
My buddy bought the custom shop Rob Roberts special M2. I bought the standard M2 and mine out shot his. I was shooting a jebs .565. I personally don't think there worth the extra money.
I was just looking,way too much cash for what they are.
I'm probably going to buy a M2 20ga, but was wondering if anyone had one or shot one.
Thanks........Greg

Exactly! The Custom Shop benelli's have a Fast Fire II on them, which is inferior to the Fast Fire III. They're lengthened and polished which can give poor patterns (sometimes). They also have the EDM porting. I haven't shot one but porting normally equates to NOISE. I have a rifle that was ported and it's LOUD!
You can do pretty much everything to a standard M2 that's useful for way less.
I'd go with an after market choke (Sumtoy is a good one as is Jebs). A trigger job and a Fast Fire III and you'll have everything you need...

Haven't shot one but have handled quite a few. Man, they're a sweet handling gun!
Here's what one of the guys on here said about M2...
"I've read on this forum that 3" TSS Federals have trouble cycling in an M2 20 ga BUT that has NOT been the case for me. Mine has flawlessly cycled 40-50 Fed TSS #9 shells without a single hiccup. I have a .562 Sumtoy I use for Fed TSS 9s and an Indian Creek .555 I used with Win LB 6s. There is no comparison between the two combos. Sumtoy and Fed TSS is hands down the best performer. I range between 275-300 hits in the 10" at a measured 40 yds. That kind of performance in a 5.4 pound shotgun is tough to beat. I've owned over 50 dedicated turkey guns and still have around 20 in my safe. This M2 20 ga w/ 26" barrel, Sumtoy 562 and Fed TSS 9s is my favorite gun/choke/shell combo that I've ever carried in the field for spring turkey hunting.
I'd recommend it to anyone."
X2 I am shooting the M2 , ff3 , fed tss 9 . The sweetest turkey gun you can carry.
I am shooting the m1 20 gauge with my hand loads tss 9's with a Carlson's choke and burris fastfire 3 on it. Purchased a Tristar 410 at the end of the season , got it set up but our season was over by the time I had it completed
Hello,
I do have one of the Benelli M2 performance shot 20 gauge. I love the looks of the gun, but I've not gotten to do a pattern session with it yet. I have an Indian Creek 555 choke and a Sumtoy 562 and the 570 Rob Roberts choke that came with the gun. I,m really not sure if the extras are worth the price, but hope they are when I hit the range.
buy a plain old M2 and have fun with the rest of the money going hunting. Now save some the gas money for a choke and mount form me. lol :funnyturkey:

Absolutely listen to what the man is saying.
I got the sbe3 with pistol grip and put my own mount and optic. Running the RR 660 choke. I figured I have pretty much same gun as performance shop for less $(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191116/0ac08520d4502a4305a5bb4c60e65024.jpg)

Sixbird are you shooting a ff3 on your m2? What are you M2 guys doing for mounting this sight?
Im inclined to agree re the Custom shop price. Thats crazy. I carried a Franchi Infinity 20 with an FF3 and TSS last year and was hooked. Im done with carrying my SBE 12 gauge in the spring woods. So to that end, and because I despise the grip on the Franchi, I also want to buy an M2 20ga. My question comes down to - 24" or 26" barrel? And...your experience with Benellis camo finishes....have they stood up or should I go with just black?
I had my SBE dipped aftermarket in MO bottomland and it lasted three seasons and looked so bad I stripped it and restored to original finish.
For the guys shooting M2's with red dots. What is your preferred mounting method and is anyone shooting bead only with an M2?
Shot with bead only until just this year. Went with the low profile Sumtoy Mount for a vortex venom. Excited to see how it does and holds up.

Sumtoy Mount is perfect, Great guy also
Sumtoy mount with a FF3 26 inch barrel with a 562 Sumtoy choke (https://i.imgur.com/gnsahmm.jpg)
And it kill's them (https://i.imgur.com/X9qGYp4.jpg)
Is the Sumtoy mount a Burris FF proposition only? Im looking at trying the Holosun 507C which is compatible with the Trijicon RMR footprint or can be used with a section of Pic/weaver rail. I am pleased with my FF3s just looking for something new to play with.

Sumtoy does do a mount for Trijicon RMR

He put one on one of my guns a couple months ago. Low profile. Very nice work

Thanks, Holosun and Sumtoy it is!
as a sporting clay shooter, port and barrel work everything . as a turkey hunter don't do barrel work I want the pattern to clump up for big numbers especially in the sub gauges ! I do do barrel work on 12 ga but this is mostly for recoil reduction purposes . and in all the way down to a 410 now and had 5 kills last year with it . do my part and call him up and put my head down and he is a flopping !!!...
