Nice !!! Let us know how it patterns. Do the M2s have the same issues as the Sbe's with patterning?  Your hunting slippers?  :TooFunny:

Lol my little girls hunting slippers   :TooFunny: i havent patterned it just yet. My 12ga vinci patterned kinda high with the long beards out of a carlsons choke. For the 20 m2 i have a IC .555 that im gonna try. I have a box of federal TSS 7s and a box of heavyweight 6s to try. All i could get my hands on. May try the longbeards also. I hate to pattern my TSS. Only got 5 of em  :-[

I have a 12ga and 20ga encore barrel.  You'll like the 20.  I'm running magblends through a Haymaker 560.
