Who am I to say what I man spends his money on.

Got a buddy where turkey hunting is the most important think in his life outside his family. He just decked out a top of the line beretta 3 1/2, matching camo eotech, sent it off to be tuned and loads developed. Guarantee he has 2500 in it easily. He can afford it.

Problem with a benelli is getting them to shoot straight, every one I've owned I've fought with. Just had to put add a montefeltro cast shim, do some sanding on the drop shim, and some anxious barrel bending with the fork of a tree on an m1 to get it to shoot straight. Benelli rep told me that if center of pattern is within 9in of bullseye it passes inspection.
