You'll like it. Identical to super black eagle II, except only shoots 3 inch.

Yes, I don't shoot 3.5's so I like the M2. Best shooting SG I have ever handled. In fact, I have shot it more than anything else the last two years, and I bought it just for ducks.

Like everyone else said above, love shooting my M2. Identical to the SBE II expect no 3.5's. Handles the light dove loads like a champ!
If you build it, they will come

wouldn't use another gun. Ive put this thang to hell and back and it never misses a lick. When goose hunting in Idaho, I kill just as many greaters with 3" shells as my buds with 3.5 auto's do. Cylces anything I put thru it

Owned my M2 for 4 years.
Pheasant hunting in the snow, duck hunting in the rain, dove hunting in the heat.... has cycled 99% of everything I have put in it. Have had a few shells jam but it's been very rare.
Definitely recommend it.
 No bad days hunting

I shoot a Franchi Affinity, which is the same as an M2. I love it. The best part is they are about $300-$400 cheaper than the M2

Cylces anything I put thru it Got a left-handed one on order, this thread is good to read, info from people that put the gun to use. More comforting than the guy at the gun shop trying to make his commission. Glad I didn't drop the extra $$$ for the SBE -MJM

I have the new Franchi Affinity as well, shot a couple limits of dove with it after I got it, shoots well.
I will run about 300-400 rounds of duck loads through it over the next few months and let everyone know how it holds up to the mud, water, sand, and being thrown in the bottom of the boat, hope it holds up.

I would love to get my hands on the lefty version of the 20 gauge. I love my benelli but I wish there were some more options for left handed autos.
