The Benelli M2 Field in Realtree Max-7 is a 20 gauge semi-automatic built on the Inertia Driven System, with a 28-inch barrel, a 3-inch chamber and a 3+1 magazine. At 6.2 pounds and 49 inches overall, with a 14 3/8-inch length of pull, it carries lighter than a 12 gauge of the same layout. Progressive Comfort recoil reduction is built into the stock, the safety is a crossbolt, and the rib ends in a bead. Three Crio chokes are supplied: Improved Cylinder, Modified and Full.

A 20 gauge is the smallest bore New Jersey allows for deer, where shotguns from 20 to 10 gauge may be used with slugs or buckshot, so this M2 can work the six-day firearm season of December 7 to 12, 2026 and the permit shotgun weeks that stretch into February in the High-set zones. Mind the capacity, because the state caps a deer shotgun at three shells. Outside deer season the camouflage finish and 3-inch chamber are aimed at wetland and field birds.
