The Benelli Performance Shop M2 Turkey Edition, on the other hand, represents an ideal scattergun for taking down toms. The gun, in either gauge, retails for $2,799. The reduced weight – as well as all of these upgrades – make this Ultra Light Upland perfectly suited for the long walks and shooting situations upland hunters often encounter. All of these are with weight reduction in mind, and the result is a shotgun that weighs just 5.2 pounds in its 20-gauge format, and an equally svelte 6.1 pounds in its 12-gauge variation.Īdded to this are several other functional upgrades, including an enlarged bolt handle and release, a lengthened forcing cone and EDM barrel porting, a Burnt Bronze Cerakote finish and three Rob Roberts Triple Threat extended choke tubes. The gun utilizes a featherweight alloy receiver a shortened magazine tube and a strong, lightweight carbon fiber rib across both models. The new Benelli Performance Shop Ultra Light Upland is available in 12 and 20 gauge and is designed to be the lightest semi-auto shotgun in production in both gauges. As the names suggest, these guns have all been tailored to meet certain hunting niches courtesy of key enhancements from the Performance Shop. These three new Benelli Performance Shop models are the Performance Shop Ultra Light Upland, the Performance Shop M2 Waterfowl Edition and the Performance Shop M2 Turkey Edition.
