For mine has to be at least 32gm and fast. Have lighter trigger and hammer springs which have helped, also spending quite a bit of time playing with different shells to find the right one. It is shell fussy for the semi function as stated above as you need an unsubtle amount of energy. I have shot woodies with it but now it pretty much only comes out for PSG. If it has nothing to recoil against, the mechanism doesn't work properly.Ī very reliable shotgun when set up correctly, and of course, dont carbon up like a gas opped shotgun does.Īs above have owned both but only currently own the M3. It was always a problem when shooting from the hip in PSG. They are recoil operated, which means if you are slightly built, or haven't the upper body strength to absorb the recoil, the gun will short stroke or stovepipe. If you haven't shot a benelli, try one first. I think i've bought half a dozen over the years, and they were always good to deal with however. The tube nut is a different dimeter/thread to all the other benelli's out there, and they were expensive. Its main drawback when modifying though, is that, to the best of knowledge, there is only one company in the world that does an extended mag tube for it. The M3 is a switchable pump/semi, and good fun. While its a big investment, it is well worth it your me to keep shooting.The M2 is a cinch. The next improvement would be for Burris to develop additional mounting systems for more manufacturers and for 20 ga shotguns. I even purchased a second mount to go onto another shotgun I use for ducks and pheasants. Even with the Speed Bead, you can't flock shoot ! The birds were legs down into the decoys at 30 yards. That includes an opportunity where I & my partner pulled up on a dozen geese early in the morning and both emptied our guns without a single hit. The last four days of goose season, I shot 12 times. I have never been a good shot but after installing the SpeedBead my shooting improved. The mounting system is well designed and relatively easy to install.Sighting in is a simple alignment with the present front bead sight of your shotgun. It really improves the sight picture in low light such as early in the morning or just before quitting time.
It does not block out the bird, only show relationships. After a friend showed me his SpeedBead sight, I knew it would help me but WOW, did it ever.When I draw up on a bird, I now know exactly where I am shooting because I can focus on the bird and see in my peripheral vision where the red dot is. Rated 5 out of 5 by Buffaloman from Increase your hits! At 72 years old, my eyes are getting tired and I thought I'd never shot a shotgun again.
