I had plans this year for some other projects- mainly a PCC, shorty AK, and a precision .223 bolt gun. However, it occurred to me that there's nothing there that I don't have covered another way- so it would just be for variety sake. But the lack of a shotgun in my safe is a bit of a glaring omission.
I would like to fix that, but it's going to be a bit of a "one and done" kind of thing. The majority of my time (and funds) goes to scoped rifles and pistols. I've basically narrowed it down to a Benelli M2 Field 21" or a Beretta 1301 Tactical. The dark horse budget is a Benelli SuperNova pump action. My planned use would be training courses, multi-gun matches, and a remote third chance of using it for hunting in some capacity. I plan to set it up with a small red dot sight.
I'm leaning towards the M2, as the 21" offers just a bit more tube capacity (with an extension) and a balance between "hunting style" and "tactical style" shotgunning.
What am I missing? Any arguments to sway me one way or another?
