Title: Benelli m1 super 90 vs weatherby element
Post by: Mossyballs on April 18, 2023, 10:57:20 AM
I can pick up either of these in 12 ga for $500. Which should I buy for dedicated turkey gun?
Benelli m1 super 90 12 ga 24" barrel used good condition
Weatherby element 12 ga 22" barrel new

Which is the better gun?

The 22in version of the Element (bottomland) is not drilled and tapped from the factory. Just something to consider if you are mounting optic.  Otherwise, great turkey gun.

Benelli or inertia type gun, get my vote ... Look at the Stoeger Firearms 20 gauge ...

In my opinion, this is a no brainer.  If you can get Benelli M1 Super 90 for $500, you had better snatch it up.  Mine has been my favorite shotgun since 1995.
