What makes a Benelli worth it?

[newbutold]

Sport II....thousands of rounds fired, zero hiccups

This is comparing apples to oranges. No way a pump will shoot faster than a semi. YOU just shoot fast. But guess what? You'd be even faster with a semi.

[fecalguns]

As compared to a Remington 11-87 or a Winchester Super-X,
You get more of a perceived recoil, since the Benelli action is recoil(spring) based verses a gas action.

Again I don't disagree with you, but me personally, I can't feel the difference when comparing an A400 vs a sport 2 or supersport. Maybe if I pick up my M2 and compare again I can tell the difference.

I know by design the Benelli should have more recoil being an inertia gun, but maybe the sport 2 and supersport's design gives more comfort against recoil.

[L84CABO]

They do have gas guns too. The m4 being one.

To your question OP, quality, fit, finish, reliability...These are things that come along with and presumably justify the higher price tag. Only YOU can decide if it's worth it. Much in the same way that a Wilson Combat 1911 may not be worth it to everyone. Or a Porsche vs a Volkswagen. Both vehicles will get you to your destination after all. Or a Snap On wrench vs a Craftsman wrench. Both wrenches will turn the nut after all.

Only YOU can decide if the extra money is worth it.

Disclaimer: I do own a Benelli m4. And do note that federal law 922R comes into play for imported shotguns...of which Benelli's are. If you're seeking to modify the factory five round capacity of say the m4, you had better plan on an additional $300 (give or take) for the necessary US parts to keep the gun 922R compliant.

I have an 870 Express. I see very expensive shotguns like Benelli and wonder what really makes them better. My 870 has never malfunctioned, but I don't shoot clay competitively or shoot it a lot so I don't know.

What makes those expensive guns worth buying? Do they have less recoil? Are they more accurate? More comfortable? Is it something you would only notice if you shot a lot?

Thank you.

What makes those guns worth it is knowing how to use one effectively.

If you are going to buy a Benelli M4 Tactical Shotgun and then just hold it close to your bosom each night before bed, then it probably isn't worth it.

If you actually get trained up in the effective use to that gun then your question will answer itself.

Right now might be a good time to be trained although NV 's Gov has closed all Non Essential Businesses so FS is closed too. I was going early next month so I'm pissed at the Commie Chinese right now!

Anyone who thinks this current epidemic wasn't planned is either naive or stupid, and when I found out that Bill Gates funded the Wuhan Lab that let this stuff out and is now selling test kits it showed me just exactly who to look at.

USMC.

1.) Extremely reliable, in over 25 years, mine has only mis-cycled on a few bad reloads. You can alternately load the softest target loaded and then the nastiest magnum load and it will cycle every time.
2.) the inertia recoil system and trigger mechanism is very fast and easy to clean and lube.
.

The Marines didn't adopt an inertia recoil operated Benelli.

What a weird thing to bring up in a thread about Benellis. Anyways, here's some science.

https://www.modernhealthcare.com/safety-quality/covid-19-not-man-made-comparative-genomic-study-finds

Also, Bill Gates has been funding organizations to develop test kits for the virus. Why would they fund the creation of the virus, unleash it, and then waste millions more to develop a test for it? If they really wanted to unleash it on the world, they would have developed a vaccine alongside the pathogen, and would be directly selling the vaccine at an exorbitantly high cost, not wasting money to develop a test. These conspiracy theories are absolutely insane.

/end thread jack - had to call someone out on this conspiracy theory garbage.

Isn't the Extrema a Beretta? Don't want the OP searching for a Benelli Extrema.

Yes, doh! I was shooting a Super Black Eagle (3?), my father in law (may he rest in peace) was shooting the Beretta. At the time I had never heard of Extrema or Black Eagle. Anyhow both guns were his, both Italiano - both ran flawlessly. I still hold out hope that one of them may find their way to me from my mother in law, I would take either in a heartbeat.

Maybe if you read up a bit you'd figure out the simple fact that the Test Kits took time to develop and Bill Gates is selling them right now. How could they have known what to test if they didn't have advanced notice of what was coming? that's a big DUH !!! He probably has a vaccine in the works as well, and it probably won't be cheap..

Also why would he fund an Infectious Disease Laboratory in China anyway? Plenty he could do here, but we would have already found out. Maybe since he is one of the kooks that think the world can only sustain 5 Billion People! We're about 2.5 Bil past that right now. How do you think they will crunch the numbers??? Starvation, War, Virus, Plague? All options are on the table when you are talking Billionaires like Gates and Bloomberg, but they gotta get the guns first before they can bring this country down. and they are working day and night on that one and have been for years.

More going on here and lets face it the timing is a little suspect, why was everything hunky dory for the last 3 years and now all of a sudden the country is in peril? Do you actually think that the Chinese would rather have Trump than Biden??? They already control Biden and his son. Duh!!!

They have thrown the world into chaos, and this country is suffering big time and you think it's all cuz of Hungry people eating Ant Eaters?

This was planned and the plan is working.

Have you seen the run on gun stores that is happening? People are scared and doing something like this is the only way they could beat Trump,,, Except it ain't gonna work!

Like I said the OP needs to get trained! Then he'll understand the gun.

Trump will win in 2020. I agree this entire thing from the WHO to all european governments was deliberately overblown to the extreme in an attempt to hurt Trump's reelection bid. The democrats are sick and pathetic. They want to destroy this country so they can get another democrat piece of sh+-- in office.

I have 2 early imported HK marked Benelli M1 super 90 shotguns (imported in 1989 +/-). I bought both of them several years ago from my police department when we switched back to the 870s.

Both were 20 inch tactical models, pistol grips, rifle sights and 7 round factory mag tubes and they have marks and dings from being stored in the vehicle eletro-locks for 20+ years.

I left one original and I converted one to a duck/dove gun.

I love both of them and they just simply work all the time. If needed, I would buy another Benelli in a heartbeat.

A Benelli sister for half price would be the Franchi Affinity 3.

Those sisters are NOT the same quality. The Franchi sister is a bit off. Saw a Franchi receiver break beyond repair. Bad metal on that one.

Provide me a source for all of your claims, then I might take your claims seriously. Otherwise this just looks like you're piling heaps upon heaps of aluminum foil onto your already too-thick tin foil hat.

The test kits were already available from the WHO, developed in Germany. Why wouldn't we want to use the same one? Instead the CDC opted to forego the use of the widely distributed and effective test kits, and was determined to make their own. When they delivered them in February they were defective! By your logic I could easily say that the US Government is sabotaging its own country by purposefully releasing defective test kits. But I'd have no proof of this wild claim, and like what you are doing, it's just conspiracy theorizing and inventing conclusions that you've already accepted as fact without supporting evidence - only assumptions.

Also, our country is not the ONLY one suffering big time. We weren't the target of some kind of biological attack like you might think, because if we were we would be ground zero, not China. Look how SARS started in 2003 - bats! So yes it's highly probably that all of this started because of some unsavory food practices in China.

Also, what run on gun stores are you talking about? The fact that people are flocking to gun stores to buy them? What's that have to do about trying to beat Trump?
