Benelli M2 Field V. Beretta AL391 Urika

Both will be the synthetic style.

Used for skeet shooting, deer, turkey, birds.

Basically all shotgun applications...

Which would be the best choice?

Thanks

This is easy...Benelli M2 hands down.

Of course you'll get others who say the same but pick the Beretta.

When looking at shotgun, you should look at these 3 areas: fit, reliability and right/correct point of impact

Can't tell - which one Fits you / or do neither of them fit you very well ....

I do like the Benelli inertia system / if the M-2 has a comfort tech stock on it ! If it doesn't - it will give you probably 25% more recoil than the Beretta gas gun - so I would go with the Beretta then.

I use the Beretta due to the location of the safety - in front of the trigger. I grew up using Winchester shotguns, Models 12, 1300, 1400, and 120. I also exclusively use for grouse and pheasant a Browning B-80 (copy of the Beretta A303, precursor to the 391 series). While I like many of the Remington, Benelli, and Browning shotguns, for bird hunting, I can't "instinctively" push the safety off to get a quick shot off. I looked at the Benelli line and liked how they fit and have shot them on the skeet/trap and sporting clays ranges. Either of your choices should satisfy your needs.

Probably the 2 best autos made. I like the Benelli a little better, but have no problems recomending either
