Those Weatherbys sure looked nice.  I just couldn't find any in 20ga when I was shopping around.

Yes.  They are in high demand.   Especially around turkey season.

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback! Did you gun come in camo or black? How recently have you spoken with them about pistol grip for the 20ga? Thank you.

I got the 20 gauge, M2, with 24" barrel in Realtree APG.  I got it off of Gunbroker shipped to my FFL for $1350.
Got it, I can't find one at that price but 100 difference is not a huge deal. Will call them Monday to talk about the pistol grip options.

If you find a pistol grip for a Benelli M2 20 gauge please let me know

How'd you get the fan to stay open for that photo?

I used a limber green stick that I slit on both ends.  Just stick the base of fan feather on one side into one end of the stick then spread the fan and stick another feather base in the other end of the stick.   You have to have the right length stick but it can be done.

I was just on the Winchester site........SX3, 20GA, 7lbs. 2oz., $1300
Mossberg shooter since 1968

If you can find one...the Winchester Longbeard SuperX 3 in 20 ga sounds about perfect.  I've never actually seen one in person...but it's at the top of my 20 gauge list when and if I do ever come across one.

That's an interesting alternative, not sure if I still am the early adopter

I looked at those too.   They look very nice.  The only problem is they weigh 7.5 lbs....   kind of defeats the purpose of carrying a 20 gauge in my opinion.

Benelli does make a pistol grip 20 gage. It's the Performance Shop M2 Turkey Edition. Only $2,500...

  Unless they started building it in the last 4 weeks.  I just checked there website.  The only pistol grip model is for a 12 gauge.

My bad, you are correct. I had to go back and look at their website again. I guess it is only available in 12 gage.

Spoke with two different reps and Sure Grip only comes for 12 gauge, you can fit it on the 20 gauge gun but it will stick out and look like a hack. They do get a lot of questions about it though so I'm hoping something like this will come in the future

M2 in 20ga with 24" barrel it is. Now the million-dollar question desk how do you mount a fastfire iii on it? Also, which choke?

Don't know about the fastfire but the Indian creek is deadly in mine.
