Hey guys, I’m thinking of running a Leupold DeltaPoint Pro with an ADM QD mount on my Benelli M4. Anyone tried this combo? How does it handle the recoil? Open to other optic and mount suggestions too. Let me know what’s worked for you! Thanks!

Thank you so much for your response! I really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. I’ve also posted about this on Reddit to get some additional opinions, and the feedback has been split. Half of the folks said it’s just factory grease, nothing to worry about, and that the color variation is normal. But the other half suggested something more concerning—they think the shotgun might actually be an older, used Benelli 1014 version with an extended mag tube and updated release button, made to look like the new LE version. I’m honestly really confused at this point but I hope it's just factory grease. I’m super excited about this shotgun and really want it to be the real deal.

Hey guys! I recently purchased a Benelli M4 LE (Gen 2) from XtremeGuns.com. This is my first shotgun, so I’m still learning the ropes. Honestly, I was so excited about getting the M4 that I barely even slept last night. Today, I went to my FFL for the transfer, and let’s just say the experience wasn’t great. The dealer was moody as hell—not that I’m here to complain about attitudes. The bigger issue was the condition of the shotgun when I saw it. The gun felt sticky and looked like it had been dipped in Coca-Cola or something. I’m not sure if it’s just factory grease or if the shotgun is in rough shape.(Especially the bolt release) XtremeGuns claims to only sell brand-new guns, and I even called them beforehand to confirm this, so now I’m doubting things. Plus, I also noticed that the bolt release is a different color than what is shown on Benelli’s official website. I'm new so please humor me. Really appreciate all your help, thanks!
