OK, I know this is a borrowed picture, but she looks just like this one; Drool!!! Doc

Well, had to sell a few (actually 4) to purchase one, but WOW, what a sweet baby. Picked up a Benelli Ultralight today and wow, just wow. No, I haven't shot her yet, but she is beautiful. I just love that wood. SSOoooooo light. Hopefully a range report to follow soon, and maybe a pic or two :D Doc

I love my Benelli, but I am looking for a 20 ga. I really like to hunt with a 20ga semi. I picked up an M1 field (I think) and really like the way it handles. I will mostly hunt squirrel and birds. What to do? Would the M1 do fine? Should I look at something else? Any input appreciated. Doc (probably will be a SBEII 12 ga in my future also , dang Benelli disease!!!!)

OK, I have never been goose hunting, and an M4 is what I have. How important is barrel length?? Wouldn't the M4 work just as good with the right choke? Regular full choke or something else for steel goose shot? Thanks Doc

Where you located?? Doc

Unbreakable, That is my one disappointment in the gun. It has been lawyer-ezed. Only holds 5- 2 3/4 shells, or 4-3" shells. That "funny looking" tube is a mag restrictor. Doc

I talked to a police officer a while back, and he let me look at his. He said he liked it because it could be used in pump mode for less-than-lethal projectiles, so I am pretty sure it can be done. However, I have no idea how, as I only drooled on his. I didn't get to shoot it. Doc

OK, new to the forum. Just picked up my first Benelli, M4 1017 (I think). Gotta say that so far I am impressed. I did a brief cleaning and check for obstructions, then went and got 100 rds of light target loads, and one box of 3" mag duck stuff (was all they had). I started with a few mags full of the light loads. Quite spiffy recoil (knew that going in), but ran flawlessly. Then I ran about 15 rds of the 3" stuff through her. Wow, that will open your eyes!! I love this thing. Then I went back and ran about 60 rds of light dove loads, and finally, I ran the rest of my shells, 125 in all, mixed between the light birdshot and the 3" magnum. Never had a bobble. I did try one mag full from the hip with a very loose hold just to see if I could make it short stroke. While it did feel like the action was a bit more sluggish, it still never missed a beat. The cheek piece will beat you up just a bit if you get a bit careless, but the cool factor of this one is major! Now, I have a nice red shoulder and I am one HAPPY CAMPER!!! Boy, what a sweet shotgun. I have a feeling she won't be lonely long. Just what I need is another addiction. Stupid BRD is expensive enough. Now I have BSD (Black Shotgun Disease) also :D Doc
