Hey guys,

Thinking about a semi-auto shotgun. Have narrowed it down to these two.

Benelli M4 $2000?

SAT-600.png

Fabarm SAT8 $1000?

What's your guy's thoughts and opinions?
Is the Benelli twice the shotgun the Fabarm is?
Build quality, fit and finish?

Thanks guys.
 
If you ask me, the Benelli is a much better gun. Fir, finish and quality are all top notch. Is it $1000 better? That is a question only you can answer.
 
tough question,

I love my M4, threaded chokes a big + for things like bird hunting.

To be honest I have not tried the Fabarm SAT8. But for $1K I'd jump on it.
I actually prefer my Pump action Fabarm to the Benelli M4. (lighter & faster)

What are you going to be using it for?

IMO I think they are very similar.

Ghost ring sights - (M4 white front dot) (Fab Green/Red fibre) + love'em
rails - (M4 top) (Fab top and fore-end) + if you like vertical grips
Barrel - (M4 removable chokes)+ Mulit use (Fab muzzle brake)
Stock - (M4 Sekeletonized) + looks cool, but will you use it? (Fab Fixed)
Origin (M4 Italy) ++ (Fab Italy) ++

If you can, try them both. Other than that guess it all depends on if you want $1k in your pocket.
Either way I think I'll be happy with your choice.
 
Benelli all the way!

Check out the M2 Tactical too

Benelli has way more after market options for it

Who carries the FABARM shotguns in canada?
I'm pretty interested after I learned they have a reversible safety.

The shooting edge did at one point not sure if they still do, as I have not see much chatter about them in the last year.
Benelli M2 you can reverse the safety on
 
I like Benelli's a lot, and used a borrowed one for ducks last year.
The only thing that scares me is the price tags.
If I find a good deal on a M2 I might make the plunge.
 
Save yourself the $1000 and buy the Fabarm Sat 8. I've got one and although I've never fired the benelli I have handled them and I'm pretty sure at the range the Fabarm is going to perform every bit as well as the Benelli does. It's a great shotgun.

Bolt release sucks

No aftermarket stocks "ones with shorter LOP"

can you float a round in the Fabarm?
 
To each there own but personally I like the bolt release, it works for me and I've had no problems with it. The length of pull is perfect for me (I don't wear a bullet proof vest) and no I can't float a round but for $1000 and for what I use it for I'm ok with that.
 
The M4 is formidable but the M2 is considerably lighter. I did the Tactical Response course with an M2 and it performed accurately and without fault. I don't know the Fabarm but I'd look at a Mossberg auto if I were shopping for something less $ than a Benelli.
 
I have a 930 with a +2 mag ext, which I've blocked with a bolt and lots of expoxy. Came out looking factory. I am running 6+1+1 2.75" shells. Hard to beat the mossberg for capacity, I think.

Also, not a single failure that I haven't induced purposefully.
