Title: New Benelli M2
Post by: Jmax on December 19, 2013, 02:40:51 PM: Hey all,

I just for a new benelli M2 and was looking to find out which chokes others use for duck hunting. Also it came with 5 chokes but doesn't say anything about shooting steel with them. Can I use the factory chokes with steel loads?

Thanks

:yeah:

I've got about five hunts under my M2 and it does very well with the modified choke in. The other chokes were all marked lead only.
