I won't go into a ton of details, but for a slightly early Birthday present for Linda, I got her a 24" Benelli M2 worked on by Hayes Custom Guns. Her gun has a 12 round tube, and is awesome beyond words. For the past month or so we've borrowed guns from them to shoot matches, so it was only natural that we buy from them. In borrowing different guns, Linda and I were able to see what we liked, and what we did not like. Hands down, no doubt about it, the Benelli M2 had exactly what we wanted to find. I know some folks like the Versamax for it's low recoil, but extreme weight. I know others like the JM 930, or the Beretta 1301 for price and features, and yet others like the Stoeger M3000 for price, but not one of 'em had the reliability and ease of operation that we felt we had to have more than the Benelli.
We ran the loaner guns flawlessly, no malfunctions, so we were convinced. The only question now for Linda, is will she add a rear sight? We'll have to make some time to do some pattern tests, and work on slugs, if the stock has to be shortened at all, or if Linda needs a rear sight, the guys over at Hayes Custom will be there. Linda's off to work on her quad loading!
