harleywood Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Which would you buy and why? I like the looks of the Benelli better but like the fact that I can change the FN barrel length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneakerfreak602 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Looked at both and bought the M4. My favorite shotgun ever. The only reason I would get an FN shotgun is if I couldn't afford the Benelli. Just my 2 cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harleywood Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 Have you heard of any longer barrels being in the works from Benelli? Ever hunt with the gun or shoot Clays? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duggan Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 There are no longer barrels. If you are good with rifle sights, the m4 works fine for clays. Most people just can't use them correctly it seems. As far as which to get ... I dunno, I've never shot an SLP tactical. I'll just say however, that it would have to be a truly incredible gun to make me even think about switching away from the m4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creeper Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 (edited) The gun closer to the SLP in price is the M2 tactical, but if you're comparing gas gun to gas gun, then the comment is moot. I looked at the SLP, M2 and M4... I bought the M2 for my needs, and no, price was not an issue. C Edited January 16, 2009 by Creeper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utah2271 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I debated between both those guns. After looking at both i felt the M4 was built better. The gun is a blast to shoot, and once you get use to the sights you should not need the different barrel. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Lights Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Same here,i looked at them at a gun show and when i got back home,i ordered the benelli m4 right away. Go benelli,you wont regret it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikolai552 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 you are posting a question about a Benelli on a Benelli Forum. Chances are everyone is gunna say M4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cody6.0 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I don't know if this matters to some but it does to me. One thing that also swayed me towards Benelli years ago was the fit and finish. When you put a FN, 870 or similar tacticals next to a Benelli they look a bit raw like someon forgot the last coat of finish. Sure they are tactical shotguns put the pasty flat black paintjobs and sometimes poor paintjobs in general are a real deal breaker to me. Both of the FN's and 870's I looked at had the same wear on things like the action bars as my SNT did with 2,000 rounds through it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
