Which shotgun did I win in the lottery?

[JDL]

M1 super 90 and then have it resprung so you can shoot light loads.
You will never have to look back.

 

[yogi]

Congratulations

 

[MAD Geary]

Congratulations man. I’d take the drive up to get it in NH. The states already taken too much from you.

 

[fencer]

Congrats OP.

Trust me, get the Benelli. You can shoot it all day long and the recoil is so mild you feel like you have been shooting an AR.

 

[slap shot]

You make your wife clean the gutters? You already won.

 

[67ray]

Have them both, and the Beretta 1300 is lighter and cycles quicker. But they are both thee nutz

 

[citoriguy]

I've had my 1301 mod2 for maybe 3 weeks and have put over 1000 rounds through it since then.
Absolutely my current favorite gun.
Recoil is negligible with proper technique and it eats everything from target to defensive loads equally well.
The Ultima Patrols are really nice too, I'm going to get one to keep in the truck safe full time.

A thousand rounds through 1 gun in 3 weeks?? Damn. That’s awesome.

Wins 20K and won't buy an M4? Buy the 1301 and a purse for your wife to hit you with, skinflint!

 

[VetteGirlMA]

Fantastic, have fun rolling in your dough for a while.

I wanted to suggest dt11 but let it be.
Expensive shotties is a damn vile hobby.

Read this thread after my coffee this morning and said F it I haven’t bought one of those in a while you’re the best OP! Its not 20 Gs but hey I’ll take it. Cats is my new economic advisor! Oh and get the M1 Super 90.

 

[Chevy 2 65]

grats on your win.

use the funds to start financing your move out of mass. Then you don't have to waste money on the house or the limited selection of MA.

Also, leaf-guard gutters suck and still require regular cleaning. They also are terrible in winter.

STAY AWAY from these

Benelli or nothing.

Good for you, man. Treat yourself! I’m not a shotty person, so my advice wouldn’t even be worth 2 cents. Just came here to congratulate.

Not being familiar with either platform I would lean towards the platform Most readily adaptable for other shooting sports.
Interchangeable barells etc. Shorter barrel and sight for tactical stuff, classes etc. Throw on the 28" barrel and a choke and take it to shoot clays. I'm guessing the Berettas are capable of that, not sure about the Benelli (m4).

I don't think the 1301 tactical can do that, the receiver is different than the 1301 comps that have ribbed 21 or 24 barrels.
You can screw a briley 6" extension onto the tactical to meet min length but you've still got the front sight post, which is suboptimal.
Ultima Patrol might be able to do barrel swaps though.

LTT mod 2 1301 congrats!

I have an A300 and a 1301.

Get the 1301.

Can’t swap barrels between a ultima and ultima patrols

Different barrel attachment style

 

[PappyM3]

Tactical style shotgun?

Find an 8/1 AR308 lower, slap on a brace, and get a Genesis Gen-12 10.5” upper:

She gets leafguards.

I would have to buy her a length of 2x4 to hit me with if I told her I had paid $2125 for a shotgun, and was going to spend $400-700 more for an optic.

Eons ago, my buddy was so excited for Christmas. "I'm buying my wife a Dirt Devil." Whoa whoa whoa, I said. You can't buy her a Dirt Devil. "That's what she wanted." I told him we should go down to the Jewelers Bldg, see my guy and spend $35 (again, it was 30+ years ago) on a pair of earrings.

Nope. He was insistent he was a genius and ths was perfect.

FF to the week after Christmas. I'm over his house. I ask the wife how she liked Christmas. She didn't say a word. Just scowled and left the room. Friend confided sheepishly that he should have sprung for hte earrings. ROFL!!!!!

Benelli M2. I had a couple 1301's. I've played with several M4's. The Benelli M2, set up correctly is hard to beat.

If not Beretta or Benelli, I'll second this one.
Add a curveball of the fostech origin.

Not to be disrespectful, but what does it seem that your getting the shaft on the purchases from said winnings?

Sorry, I do not understand the question.

At the end of last year I went out to buy a 1301. When I got to the mill I spotted an M4 and remembered I almost picked one up a few years before.

After I checked both of the shotguns, I decided I liked the M4 better.
