Benelli M4 Goodness

[667]

'Got my new M4 today...
I've always preferred my pump 12ga until I shot this fine example of Italian Tactical scatter gun-ness...
Gun was deflowered using a variety of slugs... Functions flawlessly and as far as accuracy goes.... Well, I can actually hit sh** with it
I'll feed it some shot shells later this week and if it proves reliable with everything from 7.5 target loads to heavy 00buck well... you might find my old reliable win1300 up for sale in the EE for cheap

It will be reliable. Mine ate anything I threw at it. The reset is really fast - great for speed clays.

The reset is really fast

Yeah... It'll come in handy for our 3-gun matches in MI.

[pointandshoot]

I imported the gun from the US... sights are what it comes with from the factory

You didn't clean it...... you're such a post whore.

Dirty guns smell better....

I guess this must explain the lack of collapsible stock and the L.E. marking on the gun. You will love it ! Unless it is used, try to use higher power shells to break it in and you should be able to shoot almost anything in it. Sell your 1300 and use the money to finance accessories or optic (any plan?) on your bad ass shotgun.

What a great looking shotgun. Definitely gonna get one someday. Price tag is the only thing stopping me at the moment.

Hey 667 and Strangeday,

What is the recoil like on the M4? My Benelli M121 kicks like a mule with everything and I'm not normally recoil sensitive?

 

[foxbat]

I'm not 667 or Strangeday, but I, also, am recoil sensitive.
I can stand about 10 rounds of 00Buck through my 14" Fabarm pump, but can put 30+ through my M4.
I have 'newbies' try both....they always come back asking for more...as long as it's through the M4!

I suppose it depends on the ammo your using'...
I've fired some hot slug loads through the M4 and didn't find the recoil all that bad.
But I love recoil...

I don't usually like recoil much, I am a smaller statured guy too... I just love my M4, the big bad 3" magnums slugs are quite fun to shoot with all the spectacular blast and flash yet they don't push hard to make it unconfortable to me after a few boxes. I prefer shooting these heavy hitters in this shotgun than putting even the #7.5 promo loads in a light O/U. The heavy weight and gas semi-auto cut much of the recoil.
