Justin Long Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 Im looking to see who all on this forum owns and is familiar with an M1 Field? Im trying to get in contact with a few guys to get a few questions answered. Thanks fellas. -Justin Quote
North Nick Posted November 12, 2004 Posted November 12, 2004 I just bought one this week and will be using it ducking over the weekend. I will let you know how it works. Nick Quote
LBDB1A Posted November 12, 2004 Posted November 12, 2004 I have an M1 Field that i have had for several yrs. Quote
dagrizz Posted November 12, 2004 Posted November 12, 2004 Have you considered the M2 Field? It is supposedly updated from the M1. I purchased 1 a couple of months ago and just love it. I have gone through about 100 rounds of trap with it and some bird hunting. Not one bit of trouble through all of that. Mike Quote
Justin Long Posted November 15, 2004 Author Posted November 15, 2004 Yeah i have had mine for half a year and so far i have done a lot of dove hunting with it and just starting to deer hunt a lil with it. Have any of you guys deer hunted with your M1's? Quote
pheasantshooter Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 I have had an M1 20ga for two years now. It has the 4 shot extension. Functions perfectly in every scenario I have put it through, light trap loads to 3" mags. It's light to carry in the field, rugged and the light recoil allows me to get on additional flushing birds. Let me know how I can help with your questions. I have several other Benelli, as well if you want a comparison opinion. Quote
DJ Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 I have a 20 ga. M1 slug gun. I just bought it this year. I like it very much. Night and day difference in the recoil compared to my 12 ga. Quote
Justin Long Posted November 22, 2004 Author Posted November 22, 2004 Yeah i like this gun a whole lot. My only real question is for you deer hunters that use this gun. Im kinda having a lil trouble finding what buckshot matched with what choke pattern the best in my new M1. i have a number of chokes, full, mod. improved modified, improved cyl. and cylinder. I heard that the remington heavy shot does well but they are like 9.99 a box and i really hate to waste a lot of money just trying to pattern my gun with several different brands of buckshot through all my chokes. I would like a tight pattern of buckshot but through a choke that can shoot rifled slugs very well too. I would appreciate any help or advice you guys can send my way. Thanks -Justin Quote
BenelliGirl Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 Your Improved Cylinder choke will give you the best pattern with the slugs. Quote
Justin Long Posted November 23, 2004 Author Posted November 23, 2004 Has anyone ever heard of or tried the "KICKS" screw in choke tubes? They have a full choke that patterns buckshot really well but i hear their turkey choke patterns 000 buckshot better than any other choke on the market. Anyone have any experience with these chokes?
