Benelli M2 Field

The Inertia-Driven system uses the kinetic energy from the recoil to cycle the action, rather than bleeding off gas from the barrel. This results in a cleaner operation because carbon and residue don't build up in the receiver, making it significantly easier to maintain and more reliable over long shooting sessions.

Yes, the M2 is designed to cycle a wide range of ammunition, from light field loads to heavy 3-inch magnums. Its inertia system is highly efficient, though it generally performs best once the action has been broken in with a few boxes of standard target loads.

The Crio treatment involves cryogenically freezing the barrel to relieve stress and create a more uniform, smoother surface. This process helps produce more consistent shot patterns and reduces the amount of plastic wad fouling that accumulates inside the bore.

The Progressive Comfort system is quite effective at managing felt recoil, especially when paired with the CombTech cheek pad. It absorbs a significant portion of the kick, which helps keep you on target for faster follow-up shots during competitive stages.

Yes, the M2 features an Easy Loading System specifically designed to make feeding shells into the magazine tube smoother and faster. Combined with the enlarged bolt release, it is well-suited for competitive shooters who need to reload under pressure.

The BE.S.T. (Benelli Surface Treatment) coating is exceptionally durable and corrosion-resistant, meaning it requires less lubrication and cleaning than traditional finishes. You should still keep it lightly oiled, but it is far more forgiving in harsh, wet, or humid environments.
