Okay, I understand and appreciate that tucker. However, I took the replies to mean that I was complaining about my gun not having certain amenities and that is not the case. ****, I don't even WANT a mid bead. I simply am new to Benelli and I had a question. How was I to know that they did things differently between the SBEII and the M2 to save $ or market a different product? Now that I have been slammed and jumped on and labeled as a complainer, I now know that the two guns are made different like a Trans Am and a Firebird. One's made a little better and a little higher end. I thought that that is what the forum was for, so that questions can be answered. Or maybe that is not true and I need to call C/S for answers to my questions. I like this forum and I have learned alot here, but I think that people shouldn't jump to conclusions so quick.

Sorry I even asked, I should have known I'd get a smarta%$ comment for a legitimate question. All you would have had to say was that Benelli didn't put one on to save costs. The comments and attitude can go. Besides that, if I really wanted a mid bead, I'd of bought an SBEII. I just thought that maybe Benelli had a specific reason. Sorry for bothering you guys. I'll make sure not to do it again:mad:

Sooooo....does no one have an answer or is everyone just being shy all of a sudden? I did search the boards for an answer and didn't find it, maybe someone has a link to it? Curious minds want to know.

Why is it that the SBE II has a midrib bead and the M2 does not? I've heard that on a SBE you stack the beads to make a figure 8. Why would Benelli not do the same for the M2?

Hello, I'm new here, I just picked up a new M2 yesterday! I'm very excited about this gun and can't wait to pattern it and break it in. As a newbie to Benelli I will warn you that I'll be asking questions, but I will use the search engines first to try to get some answers. I assume that the 'break in' period comes before patterning the gun, or can you do both at the same time? I will be using this gun for ducks/geese primarily as I use a Red Label for upland game. I bought the gun for waterfowling, but after reading some posts on here I read that I can also use it for deer also? If that's true it makes it an even sweeter deal! Thanks in advance!
