DocGP Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 I love my Benelli, but I am looking for a 20 ga. I really like to hunt with a 20ga semi. I picked up an M1 field (I think) and really like the way it handles. I will mostly hunt squirrel and birds. What to do? Would the M1 do fine? Should I look at something else? Any input appreciated. Doc (probably will be a SBEII 12 ga in my future also , dang Benelli disease!!!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liberty or death Jr. Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 I like the cordoba a lot, but the M2 is a lot cheaper and would be almost the same gun. The montefeltro is a good gun too, I'd get whatever you like best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnywitt Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Any Benelli or Beretta that has been produced within the last 13 yrs. or so would be kick-arse. Plenty of good buys out there. Oftentimes you can find Benellis with a dirty recoil tube that are jamming for a good price used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOGWILD Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 If ya wanted to spend half the money, for less than 5 Big Ones ya could get a 20 Ga Nova Pump Cammo and have a bag full of squirrel brains! But if ya got have a semi just do it and get a nice M1 Field 20 Ga. Most everyone in Arkansas used .22's cause they did not want the brains to get messed up, i never ate them but most of my friends would cry if ya shot them in the head with a shotgun!! when i cleaned them the head came off about the same time the britches did.

DocGP Posted May 21, 2007 Author Share Posted May 21, 2007 Yep, Hogwild, I know what you mean. My grandad ate squirrel brains his whole life.............uugghh....no thanks. I have been hunting bushy tails for about 30yrs now, and have an 870 and 2 old Savage 20ga pumps. Wonderful guns, but just want a Benelli. Wonderful thing about America!!! Just cause I can!!

Doc Makes me sick thinking about it! My Grand Dad had a 1920 era H&R Topper 48 12 Ga Single 30" Full that i started with and them fox squirrels would tear a cypress tree up when i busted loose on them!! did not do too many any good cause i would limit out quick! Still have it and recoil on it makes a Benelli look like a BB Gun! Good luck on finding a 20 Ga! 20 is plenty hehe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
