  1. Thanks for the comments. I did get the Plano case linked above, it's just big enough to fit both the Monte, and a "backup" pump action. I've always preferred hard cases for travel, and like that this one is water tight, and was reasonably priced, as well as space efficient. I agree setup/breakdown frequently isn't ideal in some cases, but I do have a few soft cases that will work fine in those instances. Did get out and do some shooting, it took all the ammo I fed it without any hiccups, and broke plenty of clays first time out (basically my first time so there was some learning curve) very happy so far!
  2. Hi Everyone! Just ordered a Benelli Monte 12ga 26". With the supply issues now, I had to go with an out of state purchase so now I'm waiting for shipping to local FFL before I can actually get my hands on it, but pretty excited here. This will be my first semi-auto shotgun, will join a Remington 870 and an old Sears model 200 pump. I've mostly been a rifle shooter/hunter but wanted to get into some upland game, small game, and possibly clay target sports. Wanted a Benelli for 15+ years and finally was able to do it. I know the Monte gives up some bells & whistles to the more expensive guns, but I wanted the traditional walnut & blue, and an Ethos would cost about double (I'm going to be under $1k out the door). I've never been very sensitive to recoil so I'm expecting I'll get along great. All that said, I'm pretty new to shotgun sports, so mostly have a lot to learn. Any tips, tricks, or simple modifications that people like to do with the Montefeltro? I think I'll want to add a sling, and see Benelli offers a mag-cap with the swivel, I assume the stock just has to be drilled for a rear point? I'm planning to pick up this case, since the Benelli case is no longer included. Any experience, or other suggestions in the <$100 range? https://www.academy.com/shop/pdp/plano-36-in-all-weather-rifle-shotgun-case
