The M2's weather resistant synthetic stock together with a dimpled checkering pattern on the pistol grip and forend, provides an incredibly secure grip in wet or dry conditions. The Benelli Montefeltro is known to withstand hundreds of thousands of rounds with no failures, and is famous as an ultra-reliable semi-auto shotgun for high volume shooting sports. Though the Montefeltro is lightweight, the rotating bolt head features steel locking lugs that lock into the steel barrel extension creating a steel-to-steel lock that becomes even tighter during firing. The smaller mass of parts in the action, and no heavy gas operating components housed inside the forend, make the Montefeltro an extremely lightweight, fast handling upland bird gun made to shoulder in an instant and point naturally. The recoil operated Inertia Driven System is the epitome of simplicity, with just 3 main parts, that operates cleaner than gas operated semi-automatic shotguns. The M2 operates with Benelli's Inertia Driven™ System that has proven itself in the field to be ultra-reliable, cycling both 2-3/4' field loads and 3' magnums interchangeably without adjustments.
The Benelli® M2 Field Semi-Auto Shotgun is built to be handled fast and used hard.
