I am looking to buy a semi-auto 20 gauge and posted a want to buy ad on a site. A guy reached out to me with a like new Benelli M2(black)and told me he would take 1k for it with chokes. It seems like a good price. I have never shot a Benelli and am familiar with the Browning gold as I have a 12 gauge and have borrowed buddies Remington 1100 and 11-87 20 gauges in the past. I have not disliked any semi auto shotgun I’ve shot previously, but admittedly, my barometer is not very strong to know one way or the other. Please let me know your thoughts if you have experience with the M2 or another 20 gauge semi.

One of the best out there.

That price seems a little high but it’s such a great gun.

Can’t go wrong with any Benelli semi auto. The M2 are really nice guys. I love all my Benelli shotguns. I have several browning but I love my Benellis more. Plus there customer service is great to deal with.

Buy it and get on gunsprings.com and buy a wolff +25% recoil spring for it. It'll completely do away with the dreaded "benelli click". Once you do that you'll need to run a box of duck loads through it for it to cycle light loads reliably. Once you've done that you'll have the most reliable 20ga semi auto on the market. No telling at the 1,000's of rounds I've put through mine and it still runs like a champ

Brand new they’re $1,200-$1,300, just buy a new one or Jew him down.

I shoot a 12 gauge M2 and think it’s amazing.

The three 20 gauges I’d recommend would be an M2, beretta a300, or Winchester sx4

Cousin bought an M2 brand new and wouldn’t fully eject the first shot shooting 3” steel at ducks for a couple hunts the first season bought it.

Maybe it wasn’t cleaned well or maybe it wasn’t broken in

Man up and carry a 137lb Remington 1100 like the rest of us.

Jk

My boys make fun of me because I carry around a light weight youth mossberg 20ga pump. I let let them carry both of the Remingtons, they like to brag that they can carry them all day squirrel hunting and never break a sweat. Oh well I still out shoot their asses every time.
