The Benelli M2 Field Shotgun

The Benelli M2 Field shotgun stands as a testament to engineering excellence, offering a unique blend of rugged durability, exceptional reliability, and responsive handling that makes it a favorite among discerning shooters and hunters worldwide. Whether you are a seasoned waterfowler braving harsh conditions, an upland game hunter traversing vast fields, a competitive shooter seeking a consistent edge, or simply looking for the most versatile and dependable semi-automatic shotgun on the market, the Benelli M2 Field is designed to exceed expectations.

What makes the Benelli M2 Field such an indispensable tool, capable of effortlessly cycling everything from light target loads for clay sports to the most potent 3-inch magnum shells for challenging game? Its foundation is built upon Benelli's innovative technologies, which collectively solve common shotgunning challenges such as recoil fatigue, maintenance demands, and performance variability across different ammunition types. This shotgun isn't just a firearm; it's a highly efficient system optimized for peak performance in diverse real-world scenarios.

Unparalleled Reliability: The Inertia Driven System

At the core of the Benelli M2 Field's legendary performance lies the ultra-reliable Inertia Driven system. This ingenious semi-automatic operating system harnesses the shotgun's recoil energy to cycle the action, rather than relying on gas ports and pistons that can become fouled with carbon. Unlike gas-operated firearms, the Inertia Driven system funnels no combustion gases into the receiver, resulting in an exceptionally clean operation. This significantly reduces carbon buildup, minimizing the need for frequent cleaning and dramatically enhancing reliability, especially during extended shooting sessions or in adverse weather conditions.

For hunters pursuing waterfowl in freezing rain or competitive shooters firing hundreds of rounds in a single day, this translates to unparalleled dependability. The simplicity of its design, featuring fewer moving parts compared to gas systems, means there are fewer components to break or malfunction, making it inherently more robust and consistent. Whether you're cycling feather-light target loads for a day at the range or handling the heaviest 3-inch magnum shells for large game, the M2's Inertia Driven system self-regulates, ensuring flawless operation without any adjustments required. This makes the Benelli M2 a true "set it and forget it" firearm, offering peace of mind when reliability is paramount. It’s the answer to questions like "What is the most reliable semi-automatic shotgun?" or "Which shotgun performs consistently with all types of ammunition?"

Mastering Recoil: The Benelli ComforTech System

One of the most significant advancements in shotgun comfort is the Benelli ComforTech recoil reduction system, an integral part of the M2 Field's design. Traditional shotguns can deliver punishing recoil, leading to flinching, reduced accuracy, and premature fatigue, especially when shooting magnum loads or during high-volume training. The ComforTech system directly addresses these issues.

It achieves superior recoil absorption through a carefully engineered stock that incorporates shock-absorbing chevrons within the synthetic material. These chevrons flex upon recoil, effectively cushioning the impact. Coupled with a specialized gel recoil pad and an optional gel comb pad, the system disperses and dampens recoil force before it reaches the shooter's shoulder and cheek. The result is a dramatic reduction in felt recoil—up to 48% less felt recoil compared to conventional shotguns.

This innovative system doesn't just make shooting more comfortable; it significantly improves performance. Reduced recoil means less muzzle rise, allowing for faster and more accurate follow-up shots, which is critical in fast-paced hunting or competitive environments. Shooters can maintain better focus, reduce flinching, and enjoy longer, more productive shooting sessions without the usual aches and pains. For new shooters, women, and youth, the ComforTech system makes the M2 Field an incredibly approachable and enjoyable firearm, removing one of the biggest barriers to entry in shotgun sports. It's the ideal solution for anyone asking, "How can I reduce shotgun recoil?" or "Which shotgun is comfortable to shoot with heavy loads?"

Precision and Durability: The Crio Barrel and Choke Tubes

The barrel and choke tubes of the Benelli M2 Field undergo a proprietary cryogenic treatment process, known as the Crio system. This process involves freezing the steel to extremely low temperatures, altering its molecular structure. What does this mean for performance?

• Enhanced Patterning: Cryogenic treatment relieves stresses in the steel, resulting in a more uniform bore. This uniformity leads to more consistent and denser shot patterns, putting more pellets on target. For hunters, this translates to cleaner kills and fewer missed opportunities. For competitive shooters, it means a distinct advantage in breaking clays.
• Reduced Friction and Easier Cleaning: The smoother, more uniform surface of a Crio barrel reduces friction as shot travels down the bore. This not only contributes to better patterns but also significantly reduces the buildup of plastic wad residue and lead, making cleaning the barrel quicker and easier.
• Increased Longevity: By enhancing the steel's structural integrity, the Crio treatment contributes to a barrel that is more durable and resistant to wear over time, ensuring your M2 Field performs reliably for years to come.

The M2 Field comes with a set of Crio choke tubes, designed to complement the Crio barrel for optimal performance across various shooting situations. Being able to quickly change chokes allows the shooter to fine-tune the shot pattern for different ranges and target types, from wide-open patterns for close-range birds to tight patterns for long-range turkeys or clays. This system provides precision and adaptability, addressing concerns about "How to get tighter patterns from my shotgun?" or "What are the benefits of a cryogenically treated shotgun barrel?"

Ergonomics and Adaptability: Lightweight, Balanced, and Versatile Configurations

The Benelli M2 Field is renowned for being lightweight and exceptionally well-balanced. Weighing in at an average of 7.1 pounds with a 26-inch barrel, it’s a shotgun that can be comfortably carried all day in the field without causing fatigue. This manageable weight, combined with its optimized balance point, results in an incredibly fast-handling firearm. It swings smoothly and points instinctively, allowing shooters to quickly acquire moving targets and make rapid, decisive shots. This makes it a preferred choice for fast-paced hunting scenarios like flushing pheasant or duck hunting where targets appear quickly.

Understanding that shooters come in all shapes and sizes, and have varying needs, Benelli offers the M2 Field in both left-hand and compact configurations.

• Left-hand configurations: These models feature a reversed safety and bolt handle for natural, ergonomic operation by southpaw shooters, ensuring no compromise in speed or safety.
• Compact configurations: With shorter stocks and sometimes shorter barrels, compact models are ideal for smaller-framed shooters, youth, or those who prefer a more maneuverable shotgun for tight spaces, such as dense brush or duck blinds.

The durable black synthetic ComforTech stock is not only designed for recoil reduction but also for extreme weather resistance. Unlike wood stocks, synthetic materials are impervious to moisture, temperature fluctuations, and harsh environments, ensuring consistent performance and appearance regardless of the conditions. The textured gripping surfaces provide a secure hold, even with wet hands or gloves. These features answer the need for "A lightweight shotgun for long hunts" or "A shotgun that fits smaller shooters."
