I became fed up with with a few problems I've had with Benelli in addition to the price. I loved much about my first M2 I bought 15 years ago but my first thought was that for the simplicity of the gun that it was overpriced. Additionally, my particular gun had a manufacturing defect that made it unusable with much of the ammo available.

I just bought a Retay but haven't picked it up. The name is unusual and the price still feels a little too high, but Retay could give Benelli some competition. Apparantly, now that Benelli's patent is up for their design, they have a lot more competition.
