waterfowler050 Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 (edited) hey i own a mossberg 500 and use it for duck and deer but am looking to step up and go for an auto loader. i am left handed so the m2 left handed looks perfect. but before i go order 1 i want to make sure i am getting the best BANG for my buck. i looked at the browning maxus (still not out) and liked it but not left handed. tell me what you would do and any good guns you no of even if they are righteys. please reply. thanks.

tucker301 Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Buy a keyboard with a working Shift key. With any leftover money, buy as much Benelli as you can. M2 LH or SBEII LH. Quote

tucker301 Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 I mean if you can afford the upgrade, buy the SBEII. If not, buy the M2. Quote
waterfowler050 Posted January 10, 2009 Author Posted January 10, 2009 i can afford it but have no need for it. also i do alot of trap and with the sebII rep with cycling them ill stick with the m2 but thanks. Quote
shotgunNoob Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 (edited) Buy a keyboard with a working Shift key.Don't let this guy get to you too much. He's the resident "smart ass" (but, he does know his sh*t). I mean that in the most benign way. For autoloaders, based on personal opinion and research, Id go with Benelli. In terms of which model, I cant say. This would be the place to find info on that, however. BTW- If you cant find the answer(s) you seek here, try this link: http://www.thehighroad.org/index.php But, at the highroad, you might find that most are Remington fanboys. No offense whatsoever to those guys. It is a great website. Im just forewarning you. Edited January 10, 2009 by shotgunNoob Quote
tucker301 Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 The same recommended minimum load for the SBEII applies for the M2 as well. They're both Inertia guns and they're not made for girly loads at the trap range. Quote
Matt D Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 I have both a LH SBE II and a LH M2. Both are great guns. If I had to have one it would be a SBE II. Sometimes a 3.5" will get the job done better than a 3". Quote
waterfowler050 Posted January 10, 2009 Author Posted January 10, 2009 id have to agree tucker is on about every thread and always has his 2 cents. but i respect it. i think i will go with the m2 unless otherwise convinced. has anyone heard anything of the browning maxus . its a sharp looking gun Quote
Duggan Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Get the m2. Its been like 2 weeks we are overdue for another m2 "omg it has recoil wtf" thread. In all seriousness get the sbe ii if you can afford it. I've wondered about the extrema as well... Quote
tucker301 Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 The Maxus appears to be overly complex, but Browning does make a nice product usually. Quote
Guest cleefurd Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 (edited) Buy a keyboard with a working Shift key. With any leftover money, buy as much Benelli as you can. M2 LH or SBEII LH. At least the trigger on his keyboard is working, it did go "BANG" really loud in his openning post..... Edited January 10, 2009 by cleefurd Quote
Slingadero Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 But, at the highroad, you might find that most are Remington fanboys. No offense whatsoever to those guys. It is a great website. Im just forewarning you. Most shotgunners are 870 fans. Probably 70% of internet 870 fans haven't even used any other pumps, but they still go about acting like it's the best pump in the world. It's a fine piece, don't get me wrong. But it's popularity causes people to overlook other fine pumps. Ithaca 37, Browning BPS, Winchester 1300, etc. As far as semi-autos go, honorable mentions would be: Benelli Remington 1100 and 11-87 Saiga 12 I can't really vouch for anything else. Quote
waterfowler050 Posted January 10, 2009 Author Posted January 10, 2009 yah i have checked out the extrema 2 and like it but its it doesnt come left handed and sence it is so simillar to the m2 i think ill go with the m2 Quote
leftyone Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 I can tell you this, I've never shot the M2 but I have a LH SBE II and I absolutly love it. I've shot everything out of this gun from slugs to #8's and alot of BB and #2 steel shot in between. Quote
leftie Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 I have the Lh m2 its good but i think i should have baught the sbe II I hunt geese and sea ducks i had the browning gold in 3.5 and it was great but it wasent left hand and I got powder blow back about 3 times so i went to a left hand gun but I think it was 300 or 400 in the differense of the m2 and sbeII does the sbeII have the bolt release on the right side as well or is it on the left side , thats a dislike of mine but ill get usto it , Quote
waterfowler050 Posted January 13, 2009 Author Posted January 13, 2009 what do you guys pefer sbe2 or m2. Quote
leftie Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 If i was to get another one it definetly would be the SBE II simply fore the 3.5 capibility o and of course the bigger trigger guard, but i hunt sea duck and geese as well as smaller game and skeet and sporting clays Quote
