M2 or SX3

[RiverRoost]

I don't have one personally but have seen what a benelli M2 20ga can do and just helped a buddy get his SX3 in a 20ga get setup and they are both stone cold guns. Just curious of yalls opinions on which gun is a better pattern producer? The reason I ask the difference is bc I am curious of different barrel designs.

Just sighted in my new 20 ga m2 with tss. I am kind of worried about them turkeys now....

I would go M2 20g. I definitely imo would stay away from the SBE2 and 3's. I've never had one yet that for Turkey's wasn't a challenge. The SX's have never appealed to me. Goodluck

The M2's are most definitely lighter which is the whole purpose of going tss.

I don't really quite understand what you mean by that?

Sorry. I guess I left out a part at the end of that sentence. In my mind the purpose of switching to tss would be to drop gun gauge and ultimately drop gun weight. Dead is dead in my opinion and the Nitros I shoot now throw a good enough pattern that tss to me in my mind would be overkill for me and liking.

I have an SX3 20 in bottom land. I never used an m2 20 but have a 12 and really liked it. I have also used an SX3 12 for comparison. You can't go wrong with either of those. I use a sumtoy .560 and it shoots federal 7s or long beard xr 5 or 6 great.

I have had and used both.  If you are using TSS just pick which one you like the feel of best.  I think the backbored SX3 will pattern better overall.   The SX3 I feel like is a better all around gun, I like the speed load, recoil reduction, pattern, no Benelli click, and all that good stuff.  That being said for turkey only I pick the M2, mainly because of its weight.  I put in a Wolff recoil spring to help eliminate Benelli click.
Can't go wrong either way with those guns!

That's kinda what I was thinking about the sx3 being backbored and the difference in possible patterns. I feel like the M2 is lighter also
