Hi Everyone, This is my first post so my apologies if I posted in the wrong place or anything. I own a few pistols and rifles but haven't had a shotgun yet. So I don't know much about them. I'm now looking to buy a new Benelli slug shotgun. And I'm excited - even though it's a gift for my dad. He wants it primarily for hunting but he's also starting to get into the "tactical/combat" stuff. We were both interested in the M4 from Benelli - and I just wanted some opinions on whether or not this is a good deer hunting shotgun. Maybe some pro's and con's - of a M4 vs. a Super Black Eagle or a Vinci? He wants a 12 gauge that will accept anything from 2.75" - 3.5"; a light weight shotgun that is not likely to jam or have issues. And again, he really ONLY hunts deer. So it doesn't have to be good with bird or turkey hunting. Any info or opinions would be extremely helpful!
