I will not buy Remington.
First good decision.
Best 20 gauge is a 12 gauge..
Winchester SX3 swings well for dove and doesn't kick.

What's the difference between the M2 and Cordoba?
I'm buying my son a 20 gauge

M2 - Single piece receiver, shorter barrel (24 - 26 inch), no porting, flush choke tubes.
Cordoba - Dual piece receiver, longer barrel (28 - 30 inch), ported, extended choke tubes.
They are both great guns. I prefer the dual piece receiver as it's much easier to take down for cleaning. The longer barrel is a preference really. As are the extended choke tubes.
I prefer the Cordoba, but I wouldn't recommend the extra $600 for it if you're just a casual shooter. The M2 will serve you well.

What's the difference...
Taken from another forum..
"There are basically two frame styles. The first is the heavier sprung four shot models. This would include the SBE, SBE II, M1, M2. The second is the lighter sprung five shot models. These would be the Montefeltro, Legacy, Cordoba, Ultra Light, Sport, Sport II, Super Sport, Executive.
The four shot group have shorter and wider forearms, don't cycle as light of loads, can take magazine extensions to hold more rounds, have pistol grip stocks as an option, come in turkey models, have rifled barrel options, have mid height ribs, and come in W/B, B/S, and Camo finishes.
The five shot group have longer and thinner forearms, cycle lighter loads better, can't take a magazine extension to hold more, have both low and mid height ribs, only one model comes in B/S or camo, one in synthetic, and the rest in W/B.
They have two receiver designs. A more normal one peice of the M2,M1,Montefeltro,Sport. And the two peice of the SBE,SBE II,Cordoba,Legacy,Sport II,Super Sport, Executive.
The SBE and SBE II has the top part of the receiver that is a barrel extension. The other two peice models have a tube that slides over the barrel extension which makes the top part of the receiver. The Cordoba and SS are the same except for their finishes."
So what I'm taking from this is the SBE, SBEII, M1 and M2 are designed for field use whereas the the others are more suited to target shooting?

I guess you could put it that way, but my Cordoba/Supersport has no issues in the duck blind (besides the porting making everybody cover their ears, lol).

Semi - a B gun prefereably a wop one
o/u - beretta or browning - I have shot a citori and own a beretta both r great and will last onto ur grandkids. W/ my o/u I found a used stock and cut it down for my wife and kids to shoot works great.

I own or have shot a Benelli M2 , Montefeltro, Rem. 1100 LT20 and by far the best shouldering, feeling, and shooting 20ga. I've ever had the pleasure of using is a Belgium Light Twenty Auto 5. That thing is bird gun perfection 
If you're looking at spending $1k or so on a 20ga. auto then there's not a doubt in my mind get the Belgium 20. I traded my favorite deer rifle for one to complete the A-5 set for my son and I'd make that trade a 100x. It's my favorite shotgun I own

I really like my Ruger Red Label 20 ga.

The cordoba was made for what you want. Shooting doves. At first it only came in a 20ga. Later it began being offered in 12 gauge. So it wasn't designed for targets. I wonder why that other forum decided to leave out the Vinci when listing the types of benelli guns. Also, I took a friends benelli m1 super 90 duck hunting and couldn't hit shite. So I borrowed another friends m2 and it was like I couldn't miss. Although the cordoba is my favorite dove gun, the m2 is right behind it. Can't go wrong with benelli

This is the correct answer.
Once you start using one on the dove field you will not want to use anything else. Gun handles like a dream in 20ga.
A very useful feature of the gun that doesn't get mentioned much is the clear magazine window in the bottom of the forearm. Allows the shooter to check the number of shells in his gun at a glance, which is very handy on a hot dove field.

I think they have restarted the 12 gauge line...

If $$$ were no object the Benelli Cordoba would be in my top 3. Most prices I've see are around $1750 plus.
Budget wise: I shoot a Beretta AL390 20 and bought it used for $550. You can occasionally find them on GA, GB, and other inet classified websites priced from $475 - $700.
the AL391 is another option. Walmart carried this shotgun several years ago and I recall the selling price was around $450
