cceman Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Hey fellow shooters, just received an ad from Cabelas and they have 12 months same as cash on new Benelli purchases for Fathers Day. The question i have is they mention a shotgun called the "American" for $949.99 and "New" beneath the shotgun. It appears to look like an M-2, just wanted to know if anyone has any information on this? Thanks CCEMAN Also wanted to thank everyone, 4 months ago i purchased a M-2 and love it.

cceman Posted June 8, 2009 Author Share Posted June 8, 2009 Not sure i follow your reply but just wanted let everyone know what Cabela's was doing. I am fairly new but never heard of the "American" model from Benelli. Thanks CCEMAN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novaking Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Sounds like a Beretta. https://www.berettausa.com/e2wProductGroupDetailDropDown.aspx?parentid=4100001546&parentLink=2100000084:3100001361:3100001379:4100001546 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, just from the Cabela's ad, the American looks like an M1. No CT, I presume 3 chokes, probably not Crio, etc. $949 sounds a little steep, I was hearing retail $800-$850....

cody6.0 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Around here (Nebraska) I have seen a recent overstock of M1's on the shelves of Scheels, Bass Pro and Cabelas. They are all 2004-2006 models so I am assuming that they were sitting on shelves until the " November 2008 gun crisis " and are now a cheap substitute for the M2 & M4.

Randy H Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 (edited) Just bought one at Cabelas. The Benelli American is a M2 but it does not have the Comfort Tech stock. The stock looks like the one that came on the Benelli M1. Three Crio chokes; IC, Mod, Full. Edited June 10, 2009 by Randy H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc8upg Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 The gun in the picture is an M1. I have the exact same gun. If the actual gun is the same as the picture, then it is indeed an M1. You can tell by the subtle differences in the stock and trigger guard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got the new Bass Pro 2009 Fall Classic flyer right here - they have the correct photo of the M2 American: Trigger guard is M2 Forearm is M2 Mag cap is M2 Stock is M2 - but not CT 3 chokes - presuming not Crio The one at BPS is matte black with Max4 camo stocks - normally $1199 - on sale for $999 I think Cabela's was using the wrong photo for their ads....
