This is the best deal I've seen on a Benelli in years.
Benelli Montefeltro 12Ga Shotgun w/ Hunter’s Package $699.99 Light, slender, and quick-pointing never described a semi-auto better than the Benelli Montefeltro 12-gauge shotgun. The Inertia Driven® system in these Benelli shotguns requires no springs or gas cylinder under the forend. That allows the Montefeltro’s forend to be slim and graceful, while the lightweight, anodized aluminum receiver keeps weight to a minimum. This shotgun is a classic game gun with the advantages of a semi-automatic and features Crio barrel, bolt-lock lever, removable trigger assembly, and a red bar front sight. **A Dunn’s exclusive special, the Benelli Montefeltro with Surecycle bolt handle and Hevi Shot Choke.** https://shopdunns.com/product/benel...?mc_cid=b4b78ae7b1&mc_eid=0ff9e9e9cc

If only they had the same deal on a 20.

I'd keep my eyes open for the 20 gauge.

I've killed many birds with a Montefeltro 20. Great guns.

My Franchi Affinity 20 is my go to shotgun, everything from ducks to quail and a few geese and turkeys too. I call it my Baby Benelli. But if one of the Montfeltro's in 20 popped up for sale that low......I'd be all over that deal.

the affinity is not a baby benelli, two different recoil systems. My buddy and I have had nothing but issues with our affinity 20s. All franchi can tell us is that they need more break in time, cases of win aa heavy target, should have just spent that money towards something else. I will admit the affinity is a great fitting/pointing gun which drew me to it. I thought I was doing good by getting my son one instead of a cheaper 20ga auto. He gets aggravated with it also...its basically a single shot unless you are shooting heavy duck loads or turkey loads.

I wish I knew what the chances would be of getting a 12 and trading it in new for a 20.
I would actually prefer to have the Baretta than a Benelli.

benelli does sell a camo 20ga montefeltro, but its around 1000, I imagine it will put a hurting on the m2 sales.

I’ve owned a 12 and 20 for years. Paid a LOT more than that. Great guns and price.

I know the Affinity had a different recoil system. It’s quite similar to an M2 though in many ways and Benelli currently owns Franchi hence my nickname. I shoot any load from light 9’s to heavy lead loads and all the nontoxic and steel shot through mine with never a hitch. Sorry yours isn’t the same.
