guns and ammo has a big article on the M-2, in the december 2008 issue. they highly praise it.

I like so many things about the M2-- pointability, balance, (best ever in an auto loader) looks, lightness, the famous Benelli action, toughness and simplicity of design, and more.

 

There are only two drawbacks: one discussed in another thread- the magazine shell retainer is stiff and doesn't allow shells to be unloaded directly from the magazine- they have to be cycled through the chamber. The other is that there is some kind of polymer coating on the composite stock pieces that tends to start peeling a bit-- on the black comp. model. They may have remedied this, it's a pretty minor issue in a gun designed for hard work.

 

I would recommend it to anyone looking for a working man's auto loader. Top quality, very tough, and the gun is a flat out bird killer.

 

You won't have to baby this gun when it's in the bottom of an ice covered duck boat.
