As the name implies, Benelis also have the same problem though less frequently if my friend's shotguns were any indication. It was also prone to click no bang on occasion also known as the "Beneli Click". I never had any failures to feed or eject but the action would noticeably slow down in sub freezing temps, especially if it had not been cleaned and well oiled between hunts. I have a M3000 and have friends with Benelis based on my experience waterfowl hunting with it for several years, the Benelis had fewer problems but not enough fewer to warrant the extra $$$ in my opinion. I've had four of em (three being magnums). Sure an old one in minty shape w nice wood is fetching a decent penny these days. Had about $600 in my 1100 magnum AND 1100 standard gun. Ive bought a couple beater 1100's pretty darn cheap.Ĭurrent one is Special Purpose magnum. The latter has rib anti glare that matched that on the receiver top.

Have bought Remchoke bbls for two of them, one new (said "designed by Remington- suspect Hastings made it, perfect machining) and one used "made by Remington". I had old 1100s, standard and magnum, that ran flawless. My buddy got three new ones in a row that sucked. Think for those wanting an HD rig, or an everything shotgun, there is a wider range of acceptable.Ĭrooked Remchoke machining made all new Remingtons a no go for a while. I'm not going to add to my life's frustrations looking for the perfect shotgun. I'll never shoot 100 straight, never limit on doves w just a box of shells. Lazy or cheapskate, I found something that works fairly well. It appears that most folks never find it and blow a lof of money on the way. I guess once one has found it, from then on everything is wonderful. Shotguns, like archery.one can have a lot of fun, at some expense, trying to find what works best. dirty but they are COMFORTABLE for me to shoot.Īnd being just an average slob, they fit me very well.

It may be that a little loss of gun weight factors in. Suspect the inertia may have a slight add, but that gun fit was the problem (either fit or form). Have heard others claim inertia guns beat them up. No one puts a lifetime warranty on a shotgun, except Girsan and EAA Corp. The GIRSAN MC312 even comes with a limited lifetime warranty. The MC312 fired with no adjustment needed. For the last test, they disassembled 5 shotguns, placed the parts in a box, mixed the parts up and reassembled the guns with a random selection. EAA ran the first 5000 rounds with zero cleaning, then ran a 10,000 round endurance test without replacing any parts. They ran 700 rounds continuous leaving no time to cool, mixed and matched ammo in a single mag tube, and put it through some of the most grueling tests they could come up with. This is a very difficult task for most shotguns as it requires the bolt to cycle back far enough to load the 12GA 3.5", but using only the energy from a target load 12GA 23/4". We even tested target loads, 12GA 23/4" and hot 3.5", mixed in the same mag tube and the shotgun still functioned. This shotgun is tough and versatile! Out of the box the MC312 runs 12GA 23/4", 3" and 3.5". The two shotguns you listed are inertia-operated, so for under $400, I would suggest looking at the EAA GiRSAN MC312 12 Gauge Semi-Auto Shotgun 28" Barrel 3.5" Chamber Inertia Driven System Screw-In Choke System Synthetic Furniture Matte Black 390145. Steel big pellet waterfowl, ill getva 30" bbl for it. No optic on my turkey rigs.Ģ3" turkey 870 is short for dove but has limited out often. Just a little shorter and lighter than I prefer.ĭont mind 26" bbl for turkey but like 30" for geese. Last couple yrs ran a reg 26" imp cyl standard 1100 w steel.

So maybe find a 28" remchoke or fixed mod bbl at gunshow this weekend Shiny too, but seems OK for dove ( ran on private ground )
Benelli m2 vs girsan mc312 full#
It has a reg full fixed and I wont run steel in it. Rather than swap those if it doesnt work, put on the 1100 trap. Non magnum action sleeves are easy to purchase. Whatever one runs, checking buffer for damage now and then a good thing. Magnums run heavier action sleeves so may not work great w steel dove ( dunno, aint tried it W reg bbl ).Įdit: was reminded that a standard bbl (dual port) might overgas w some loads, that the heavier magnum action sleeve could batter the bolt/buffer enough to damage receiver. So am on the hunt for 2 3/4 chamber 28" bbl just for that. Will run w 1250 fps lead though ( WW sporting clays or super handicap ). Light loads ( like steel dove loads ) wont cycle my magnum w magnum bbl.
