Bennelli M2 vs Super eagle

md1634

How can you tell them apart. My wife gave me a used gun for Christmas, no paperwork. Store said it was an M2 but the barrel says it can shoot 31/2" shells. When I went to the company web site it says the M2 can handle up to 3" shells. I'm a bit confused.

might be difficult. you could try to fire some 3 1/2 shells. Since the chamber is 3 1/2 there is no danger. If they eject then you likely have a super black eagle

May save you some time if you call and give them your serial #.

The M2 does in fact have a 3" chamber. The SBE is 3.5". Is M2 stamped on the side of the receiver? When you take the barrel off, does it separate at the front of the receiver like most shotguns or does whole top of the receiver come off with the barrel almost all the way back to the butt stock? The M2 will be the first version.

I do not have a M-2 but have a LH M-1. When I had a pacemaker installed I had to switch to RH shooting and bought the SBE II. The M-1 only shoots 2.75" and 3" shells. The SBE II shoots, 2.75",3", and 3.5". The SBE II is on the top of one picture and to the left in the other.

I really love them both but now wish I would hae gotten a RH M-1, someday I may trade. The M-1 was a perfect pheasant gun!

Hope this helps.
