Benelli M2 Field: The Unrivaled Workhorse for Discerning Shooters

Are you searching for a semi-automatic shotgun that combines relentless reliability, exceptional versatility, and user-friendly handling, regardless of the conditions or the loads you prefer? Do you need a firearm that can seamlessly transition from the icy, muddy demands of waterfowl hunting to the precise requirements of a clay target course, all while minimizing felt recoil? Look no further than the Benelli M2 Field, a truly iconic shotgun engineered to exceed the expectations of hunters, sport shooters, and competitive enthusiasts alike. This isn't just a shotgun; it's a precision instrument designed to perform consistently, shot after shot, season after season.

The Benelli M2 Field has earned its reputation as the backbone of Benelli's esteemed semi-automatic shotgun lineup. It stands out as an incredibly light, robustly constructed, and exceptionally fast-handling firearm. Whether you're a seasoned waterfowler battling the elements, an upland hunter covering vast terrain, or a competitive shooter seeking a reliable edge, the M2 Field is built to deliver. Its core strength lies in its ability to cycle everything from the lightest target loads for a day at the range to the heaviest 3-inch magnum shells required for tackling tough game, all without the need for manual adjustments.

Unparalleled Reliability: The Inertia Driven® System

What makes the Benelli M2 Field so incredibly dependable, even in the most challenging environments? At the heart of its legendary performance is Benelli's patented Inertia Driven® operating system. This innovative mechanism is renowned for its elegant simplicity, incredible reliability, and clean operation. Unlike gas-operated shotguns that can become fouled with powder residue and require frequent cleaning to maintain optimal performance, the Inertia Driven® system uses only a few main components: the bolt body, an inertia spring, and a rotating bolt head.

When the shotgun is fired, the entire gun recoils, but the bolt body, being lighter, momentarily resists this movement due to inertia. This resistance compresses the inertia spring, which then propels the bolt rearward, unlocking the breech, extracting the spent shell, and cycling a new round from the magazine into the chamber. This brilliant design means:

• Exceptional Reliability: Fewer moving parts translate to fewer potential points of failure, making the M2 virtually impervious to malfunctions caused by dirt, grime, or extreme temperatures. It simply works, every time.
• Clean Operation: Powder gases and residue are contained within the barrel, away from the operating parts. This results in a much cleaner action, requiring less frequent and easier cleaning, allowing you to spend more time shooting and less time on maintenance.
• Versatile Load Handling: The Inertia Driven® system’s ability to use the gun's recoil energy allows it to cycle a vast range of ammunition, from light target loads perfect for extended practice sessions to heavy magnum hunting loads, without compromising performance.

This self-adjusting system ensures that whether you’re shooting 7/8 oz. light target loads or heavy 3-inch magnum goose loads, the M2 Field will cycle consistently and flawlessly, providing absolute confidence in every shot.

Superior Comfort and Control: Benelli ComforTech® System

Recoil is an inherent part of shooting any powerful shotgun, but the Benelli M2 Field significantly mitigates its impact thanks to the ComforTech® recoil reduction system. This proprietary technology is a game-changer for shooters, enabling faster follow-up shots and dramatically reducing fatigue during long shooting sessions.

How does it work? The ComforTech® stock features a series of strategically placed, chevron-shaped inserts that are designed to flex and absorb recoil energy. This innovative design works in conjunction with a specially designed recoil pad, effectively distributing and dissipating the kinetic energy generated by the shot. The result is an impressive reduction in felt recoil – often cited as up to 48% less felt recoil compared to competing shotguns.

For the shooter, this translates to:

• Reduced Shoulder Impact: Less bruising and discomfort, even after hundreds of rounds.
• Faster Target Re-acquisition: The gun stays on target better, allowing for quicker and more accurate follow-up shots, critical for fast-moving game or multiple targets.
• Enhanced Shooting Experience: More comfortable shooting means more enjoyable time in the field or at the range, encouraging longer practice sessions and improved performance.
• Minimized Muzzle Rise: Keeping the barrel down for better control and faster second shots.

Whether you're breaking clays on the sporting clays course or needing to put multiple rounds on a flushed pheasant, the ComforTech® system ensures that your focus remains on the target, not on bracing for the next shot.

Precision Performance: Crio® Barrel and Choke Tubes

Accuracy and consistent patterning are vital for any shotgun. The Benelli M2 Field excels in these areas due to its Crio® barrel and choke tubes. Benelli’s cryogenic treatment process involves freezing the barrel and choke tubes to extremely low temperatures (as low as -300° F). This process stress-relieves the steel, resulting in a number of key benefits:

• Smoother Internal Bore: The cryogenic treatment creates a smoother, more uniform bore surface, reducing friction on the shot column as it travels down the barrel.
• Enhanced Pattern Density: A smoother bore means less pellet deformation and more consistent shot patterns. This translates to more pellets on target and improved killing power at various ranges.
• Increased Barrel Life: The stress-relieving process can also contribute to greater durability and longevity of the barrel.
• Superior Performance with Crio® Chokes: The M2 Field comes with Crio® choke tubes, which are also cryogenically treated for optimal performance. These chokes extend the parallel section of the choke, allowing for more consistent and dense patterns that are superior to conventional choke tubes.

For the hunter, this means more effective shots on game, ensuring ethical and clean kills. For the sport shooter, it means more broken clays and higher scores.

Designed for Every Shooter: Ergonomics and Adaptability

The Benelli M2 Field is meticulously crafted for superior handling and a balanced feel. With an average weight of 7.1 pounds for the 26-inch barrel model, it's lightweight enough for comfortable all-day carry in the field, yet substantial enough to manage recoil effectively. The overall length of 47.5 inches strikes a perfect balance between maneuverability in tight cover and optimal sight radius for pointing.

Benelli understands that shooters come in all forms, which is why the M2 Field is also available in left-hand configurations. This thoughtful design ensures that southpaw shooters can enjoy the same ergonomic benefits and seamless operation as right-handed shooters, without having to adapt to a standard right-hand ejection port or safety location.

Furthermore, compact configurations are available, making the M2 Field an excellent choice for smaller-statured shooters or for situations where a shorter, more maneuverable firearm is advantageous, such as hunting in dense brush or from a blind. These options ensure that the M2 Field offers an ideal fit and feel for a wide range of individuals, promoting better shooting mechanics and increased confidence.

Real-World Applications: Where the M2 Field Shines

The versatility of the Benelli M2 Field makes it a top choice for a myriad of shooting disciplines:

• Waterfowl Hunting: Its rugged reliability in extreme weather conditions, ability to cycle heavy 3-inch magnum loads, and quick handling make it an ideal companion for duck and goose hunting. The synthetic stock is impervious to water and harsh environments.
• Upland Bird Hunting: Its lightweight design and fast-handling characteristics are perfect for long days covering miles in pursuit of pheasants, grouse, or quail. The reduced recoil ensures comfortable shooting on multiple flushes.
• Sporting Clays, Trap, and Skeet: The ComforTech® system allows for extended sessions on the range without discomfort, while the consistent patterning from the Crio® barrel gives a competitive edge. The M2's fast cycling allows for rapid target acquisition on doubles.
• Turkey Hunting: With its ability to handle heavy turkey loads and provide precise patterns, the M2 Field is an excellent choice for gobblers in the spring.
• General Field Use: For anyone needing a dependable, all-around shotgun for various hunting seasons or just enjoying time outdoors, the M2 Field offers unmatched performance.
