    Cantilevered Slug Gun Barrels

    in Benelli

    Posted

    This is an interesting subject and one that I wrestled with a couple of months ago.I love the M1 for deer hunting but I like rifled barrels with scopes.Benelli does not make a cantilevered slug barrel for the M1.So I purchased an E.R.Shaw rifled slug barrel for my M1. E.R. Shaw was contraced by Benelli 10-15 years ago to make these slug barrels as was Hastings.They all came with rifle sights only and they did not offer a cantilever'd option.They no longer provide these barrels for Benelli and haven't for many years. This barrel came in the black matt finish and with rifle sights.I then ordered from Brownell's a cantilever mount,removed the rifle sights from the barrel and had a gun smith silver sodder the mount on.Then I sent it to Gander MT. to get Camo'd for $64.99.It matches my gun perfectly.My M1 is the turkey special with the sure grip stock etc.I scoped it with a camo nikon 2-7X32 for $149.00 and now have my dream deer gun.I took the long way around but it shoots 2 inch groups at 75 yards using Winchester 2 3/4 platnum tip sabots.The barrel cost me $200.00, the gun smith charged me $130.00 for his work and the camo job at Gander was $64.99.So, for $394.99 I got what I wanted.Good luck to all.
