For what it's worth the M2was great and its reliability was not typical in my opinion. I think they missed the interior receiver dimension. When new, It jammed one in five rounds. The gun shop I bought it from ground and polished some out and it dropped to jamming one or two per box and only with Rios. And yes, the new owner is aware of the issue.
What amazed me about the SBE3 was how light the recoil is. I thought about a Cordova but didn't want the porting. Great shotguns. I shoot really well with benellis. When buying, I thought about trying a new A5, but looked at the price and decided to get an SBE3.
