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.
Both my Benellis shoot like they have eyes of their own. I bought a few autos after I bought the M1 , I still have the M1.
