Home Forums Birds & Dogs Turkey Hunting Wonder how many they sell?!

I like to look around at different guns and equipment for Turkey hunting. Ran across a Benelli M2 Turkey gun, from the Benelli Performance Center, for $3400! Just can't wrap my head around that one!

Nor can I! Benellis are great guns, but I can't imagine dropping that much cash on any repeater for hunting.

Saw a catalog the other day with really pricey decoy setups, remote controls and all. I was amazed.

Will my 1953 vintage Ithaca 37 20 guage be enough only using 2 3/4” pheasant loads. It’s not my primary gun, but I think I’ll carry it a few times this year.

What the heck is going on when Benelli can't get a shotgun right the FIRST time for the money
they ask for them that they gotta add almost another $2k in the custom shop ??????

Can't understand why ANYONE would even buy a "stock" Benelli so long as there's Super X3's and Super X4's to be had............. Better guns for almost half the money.

While I do agree the custom shop stuff is overpriced, I like certain model benellis. Like the higher rib, safety is in the right place, not too heavy, I shoot them pretty well. Once prices get into O/U territory, doesn't make sense. Tried winchester, worked fine, wanted to like it but couldn't. For turkeys where you might only fire a couple shots or so a season, if you're lucky, doesn't add up. But to each their own. I would not buy a Mercedes or BMW either.

..absolutely not, Cheesy!

The powers granted in the lowly Ithaca pump for hunting feral feathered fowl stopped at 195-TWO.

Please throw it away by sending it to me, post haste.

I only use mine as crutches.

it's not Benellis fault they are priced the way they are, blame it on Beretta. I have a M1 super 90 and a Vinci super Sport and would not think of paying 1500 for one nevermind 3400.

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.

I can't figure why folks are willing to spend 500 - 1000.00 on a gun to shoot those nasty tastin', shyt eatin feathered rats, much less 3400.00.

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.

Because we can and we like nicely balanced guns, I can't figure why guys would hunt or even use a POS Mossberg shotgun .

That's because you're an idiot. I own shotguns from Browning, Ithaca, Remington, Stevens, Mossberg and CZ. They're all just a pipe with a shotgun shell in one end and one will do about as well as the next.

DId you get your feelers hurt? Get your mental illness looked at. Gunsmith LMFAO

Oldelkhumper,

Not in the least. And yes, I have earned a living building/repairing guns for 10 years.

I doubt it, sweeping the shop floor does not qualify. You seem to have an issue with those that have nicer things then you do. Envy is a real sad deal all around.

I suspect you know much about sweeping floors as you're obviously not bright enough to do much else. I could have any gun I want and do but thanks for your concern. Turkeys just ain't worth a hell of alot and I woudn't spend much on a special gun just to hunt them.

Don't be envious of others, it is a sin

Something I'm sure you're very familiar with.

I live a blessed life and am not envious of others wealth and possessions. You should try to work harder and rise above your circumstances.

I think wild turkey tastes much better than domestic ones myself. Rifles are just a pipe with a cartridge in one end and a hunk of lead coming out the other. One will kill game just as good as another.
