Loading the gun was easy and comfortable with no sharp edges on the loading gate or the breech. However, if you need a larger capacity magazine for serious pest control then an eight shot version is available for those with a firearms certificate. The gun I tested was a three shot, with two cartridges in the magazine and one in the chamber. This makes it ideal for walked up shooting, pest control or pigeons shooting. It means there is no lag between seeing your quarry and getting your gun on aim. In the field I find some of the best guns are so light and wieldy that they become part of you. I just pointed the gun and pulled the trigger. With the weight firmly placed into the shooter’s hands the M2 was very pointable. The other more important thing that struck me about the gun was how fast it handles. As I said earlier, inertia systems are not like gas operated guns in that they don’t get coked up with residue so you could fire the Benelli all day and not have a problem. The lightweight action really rattled through the rounds. I wasn’t aware of the cocking handle going back and forth, like on some semi-autos I’ve used. The main thing I noticed was how light the gun was and how light the recoil was. The stock with its rubber inserts and Comfortec gel pad help soak up any recoil, making it a superbly comfortable gun to shoot Light fantastic You also get a range of shims for the stock so that you can set up the stock the way that suits you. It comes with five removable chokes, which means you have every type of target covered. The Benelli M2 has a three-inch chamber and so can for magnum cartridges and is proofed for steel, so it’s ideal for wildfowling. As there are relatively few moving parts cleaning is easy and some of the people I know rarely clean their M2 and they still work perfectly. Initially I kept looking for it on the main body of the action, but the bolt release button was positioned there instead. What confused me slightly was the holding open button being placed down near the trigger guard and the safety catch. You then remove the cocking handle from the bolt (this can be a little fiddly) and then the bolt comes out. You unscrew the front nut, remove the fore-end and barrel together and pull back the fore-end so it is removed from the barrel. Thanks to the simple action breaking this gun down for cleaning is relatively simple.

Considering you would be putting heavier loads than that through the gun then there should be nothing to worry about when it comes to its performance in the field. We tested this gun with 24g and 28g cartridges and it functioned flawlessly. The downside is that these types of guns tend to prefer heavier load cartridges to fully load the inertia spring and cycle the action. The good side of this is that there are no fiddly gas parts to get gunked up and cleaning is easy. This means the action is cycled by the recoil of the cartridge, rather than by gas from the explosion. A dimpled effect on the neck of the stock gave good control in wet conditions and the black rubber insert on the comb gives some protection against recoil, as does the Comfortec gel butt plate, which is nice and squidgy to soak up recoil.Īnother element that helps absorb recoil is the semi-auto action. It doesn’t warp and it can be easily wiped clean. The good thing about the synthetic stock is that it is not adversely affected by water.
