pheasantshooter

Rusty, I have an M1 20ga w/ 4shot ext. I love it! Works great for hiking after chuckars and plently of fire power when they flush. I have also used it in SD for pheasants and it's been a killing machine. I have never had any issues with cycling light load shells. I love the durability of the synthetic stock for "real" hunting experiences. I have beautiful Montefeltros, but am always thinking about scratching the wood. They always function perfectly as well. The boy has a short stock Monteleltro and it has some light scratches already, but that can be expected from normal use. You can accessorize the M1 to your liking. I have a sling on the M1 that really comes in handy. You can't go wrong with either.

I have had an M1 20ga for two years now. It has the 4 shot extension. Functions perfectly in every scenario I have put it through, light trap loads to 3" mags. It's light to carry in the field, rugged and the light recoil allows me to get on additional flushing birds. Let me know how I can help with your questions. I have several other Benelli, as well if you want a comparison opinion.
