Benelli?

[ghitch75]

just got a Benelli Montefeltro 20g in a trade......anyone else have one?.......give me the good and bad......

There is no bad. Only problem will be if you have women and children who like to shoot you will need another shotgun. There is a youth version so you can get a shorter LOP stock for it as well.

Are you going to sell it?

Only downside is the inability to add a mag tube extension, other than that it is one of the best semiauto shotguns made.

I have one in a 20 and a 12. Hard to find a downside. Only one I can think of is if you set it butt down muzzle up on the ground very hard the bolt might unlock and it will not fire. Other than that they are great and just keep shucking shells year after year.

That gun ain't worth a pound of salt. Better let me take it off your hands, so you're not embarrassed to have it in your safe.

The bad is that your non-benelli semiauto shotguns will no longer seem good enough to you.

Well I'll tell you the REALLY GOOD!

I was working at a hunting lodge in Argentina earlier this year. We used 20 gage Montefeltro Benelli's... We had other guns but the Benelli's were the go to because they were the only guns that could hold up to the high volume of fire.

I saw guys run 6k round through one in a day and the gun never quit. And they would do it 3 days in a row. They also did this after groups that had shot a thousand+ a day and groups followed with a thousand + a day on the same gun and they all shoot just the same day in and day out. They honestly are amazing!

The bad news is now you'll only want to buy Benelli shotguns. I know that's all I've bought for many years, and that's now all I want to buy!
I want a 20gage ethos so bad, but they are just so dang expensive!

I know they are expensive but it's hard to argue the field reports. I have 2 sbe2's and a m4. All three have been awesome at the range and in the field. The initial cost will fade long before the dependability

I am also a Benelli addict. If I don't have a side by side I have an inertia driven Benelli!!

Let me know if you ever want to sell it. My daughter needs one. )

 

[ghitch75]

thanks to all who have replied.......i have shot it and i think it is a keeper!

I still have my first Benelli and still shoot it a good bit for competition, it's an HK marked Benelli 121M (predates the Super 90)

 

[dancrichy]

That is a quality gun. One of my buddies has one and only has good things to say. They are very reliable and an absolute blast to shoot. He won't buy any other brand now because of how good they are. Congrats on getting a great gun. I'm jealous!

I've got one that needs a home. Montefeltro 20 ga. Smoothest action I've ever felt on ANY gun!
pm me if you're interested.

+1 To Benelli's as well. I've had my SBE for about 13 years. Glad you're enjoying it.
