kiffy Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 i was going to buy a new escort but didnt want toi wait the couple of months for them to come in so after a nose around i found a 2 year old benelli for sale online, phoned him and made a cheeky offer and as hes giving up shooting and taking up fishing he accepted.. £800 delivered to my rfd.. ok a lot more than a new escort but a bit of a bargain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throdgrain Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 I had a Benelli m2 for some years, put a lot of rounds through it. In the end it became less than reliable though. These days I shoot a Remington 11-87, purely via my love of the Remington 870, and it's a great gun, the Sportsman plastic stocked gun is light, with low recoil, its cheaper to buy than a Benelli, at least , if not more reliable, and if something does go wrong parts are freely available and cheap, unlike the Benelli. Definitely worth consideration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexcernui Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 (edited) Thanks for that, because I'm also left handed. Friend of mine shoots a stoeger 2000 which which works on the same system. I had one for all of 2 weeks. I love sa and am going to get another, just not a stoeger. The build quality is just non existent. Cocking handle decided to depart the gun and after I managed to find it again it would not lock back into position and just loosely went into the block. Also when breaking clays it used to get so hot it would burn my hands and when it was hot it would jam constantly. Remi sa or a pump is on my wish list now.

Wildfowler325 Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 (edited) Nooooo get a browning! There easier to clean, more reliable, less recoil, better handling and far better than a benelli. I had a benelli m2 and i kicked like a mule and jammed all the time. The only place for it was a skip! Edited October 5, 2013 by Wildfowler325 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
