Benelli M2 drilled and tapped receiver

[Savage Jav]

Hey all. Does anyone know if Benelli offers the M2 field in a configuration that is drilled and tapped? Am I better off getting a tactical model and just dropping a 24in field barrel on it? Id like this to come from the factory as opposed to having a gunsmith do it simply to not void any warranty.

If you don't want to use a gunsmith, yes.

Some of the Turkey and Custom Shop models have had a factory tapped receiver, not sure about the basic field models....most are not tapped.

Check the price of a new M2 barrel if you don't already have one?

With major Benelli parts (barrels, stocks), I found it is more economical to just buy a completely new gun.  The sum of the parts is much more...

I suppose I could always just go with a SBE3 in 3in. It comes drilled and taped and is only slightly more then the M2
