I used a 12 ga Benelli M1 with a 24" barrel for years. Tried an 870 youth 20 a few years ago and it took a WHILE to find a load I was comfortable with. But after finding the right load I'm fine using it out to 40 yards.

But I wanted a semi and since I've been satisfied with the M1 in 12 ga I ordered a 24" M2 20 ga a few weeks ago. Should be in in a couple of weeks.


Most people don't really want the truth.

They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.
