Xrail by RCI вЂ“ IвЂ™ve seen a handful of BenelliвЂ™s that came from Mark Roth, and theyвЂ™ve all been great. If you donвЂ™t want to do the work yourself, you have several options, and IвЂ™ll just list out the two that I know of: Find a qualified gunsmith who is experienced in doing this work, and rest assured that what youвЂ™ll get back will be done right. YouвЂ™re basically removing material from the receiver, and once thatвЂ™s ruined, you canвЂ™t put it back on. While you can do the modifications yourself, I would highly recommend not doing so. The above picture represents what youвЂ™ll get out of the box. ItвЂ™ll recoil a bit less, which should increase your shooting speed and cut down on any shoulder pain if you donвЂ™t shoulder the gun properly or are recoil sensitive. Shoot the gun until itвЂ™s broken in, then you can start using 2 3/4 dram instead, testing a box or two first to make sure theyвЂ™ll cycle.

A standard load for these types of shotguns that use inertia to operate the bolt is the 2 3/4вЂі 3 dram 1 1/8oz. Now the downside to this method of cycling is that itвЂ™s susceptible to light loads not having enough power to cycle the bolt. Gas guns on the other hand directly use the gas to push the bolt backwards. The power of the load is what is cycling the bolt. Basically what this means is that once a round is fired, the energy released causes the bolt to shoot backwards, and then return forwards and loads another round. The Benelli M2 is an inertia operated gun.

There are options for completely customized BenelliвЂ™s, and IвЂ™ll list out the two choices I know of, but will also provide which of them to me seems like itвЂ™s the better of the two with regard to quality of work. Keep in mind though, that with all of these shotguns, most are coming from the factory set up to shoot birds, and not configured at all for 3 gun. It seems to be the most popular among the top shooters, but it also comes at a higher price point. This is by far, THE shotgun to shoot in 3 gun. Alternatively, if you are an experienced open shooter and would like to write an article, IвЂ™d be more than happy to take a look and throw it up here.

So for that IвЂ™m sorry, and if I can find a source for information on open, IвЂ™ll make sure to update this post with that information. This division, much like revolver in USPSA is one I have very little interest in so I donвЂ™t go out of my way to learn more about it. IвЂ™ll apologize in advance because I wonвЂ™t be covering open division mainly because I have little to no experience in it, and anything I share here may possibly be incorrect. There are many, many choices, but I always run into the same four models of shotgun at matches. So before we begin, I want to give you an overview of what weвЂ™ll be discussing: If I do learn more, or someone wants to write up a section of open, IвЂ™d be more than happy to edit this article and include it. While I can rattle off a few brands, I donвЂ™t know much about open so I wonвЂ™t be able to give an accurate description of either their use, features, etc. You will also find that there arenвЂ™t any open shotguns listed. I own a couple that perhaps after trying them, I may have gone a different route. Most importantly, before buying any, see if you know anyone local that can let you try theirs. IвЂ™ll list out some sources and manufacturers of the shell holders, and IвЂ™ll make a note that IвЂ™ve never used their gear so that youвЂ™re not led astray. Just a notice before I startвЂ¦IвЂ™m only going to review the shell holders that I own, or have direct experience using. If you can load 8 rounds in under 5 seconds starting with the gun up, flip it down, load eight, then flip it up, youвЂ™ll be in good shape at your matches. IвЂ™m halfway decent at quad loading so this facet isnвЂ™t a weakness for me, but it can always be improved.

The shotgun seems to be the one gun that if you do not know how to load, or canвЂ™t do so quickly, youвЂ™ll quickly find yourself further and further down the field at the end of the match. Maybe itвЂ™s the fact that doing quadloads quickly under pressure is tough, maybe itвЂ™s trying to figure out which shell holders to get, or which are the best. The shotgun in 3 gun seems to be the one gun that gives people the most issues.
