Would you buy a new benelli in 16ga?
If so which model? M2? Montefeltro? Others? |

Ultralight?
Monte in 16ga would be nice if I were in the autoloader market. |

Make a 16 gauge on the 20 gauge SuperSport frame complete with an adjustable composite stock..........6.7 lbs. With a barrel long enough to be useful.
One shotgun to hunt with and shoot clays with. |

Dont really care for most Benelli models I've seen withe exception of the Ultra Lite. I bought the 28 ga model with a 28 inch barrel and love it . I shoot it well too at sporting clays and game farm pheasants. I would buy a 16 ga in a minute in that model if they made one |

I would just buy the new “A5” if I wanted a SA 16ga lightweight inertia gun. I can’t imagine Benelli producing a gun any higher quality than those. |

As much as the new A5 intrigues me, 5 lb shotguns are not really a good choice for me.
So give me a Benelli with a little bit of weight to it like the SS and I will be just fine. |

No offence guys but to me the A5 style shotgun is butt ugly (Sorry John B) I would like the M-2 in 16 myself. |

I recently purchased a slightly used but new to me A5. I wasn’t really liking the look of it too much with but it’s growing on me. A synthetic stocked M2 would get me going as I mainly duck hunt. |

I’d buy a 16 ga. Ethos in a heartbeat. I emailed them a year ago and they had no intentions of building one. I said please make a limited run of 1000 and put me first in line. |

I'll also add a vote for a 16 Gauge BUL. |

Not a Benelli shooter, but might try one in 16ga for waterfowl. |

I have an early Benelli Montefeltro in 20 ga. It's my favorite skeet gun. And I use it for desert quail because I don't want to use either of my 2 English doubles in that harsh terrain. Light and fast! I'd buy any Benelli in a 16ga.

I had a Monte in 20 that I liked very much, but traded it for the new A-5. A Montefeltro in 16 would be excellent IMHO. |

I’ve used 20 and 12 ga Benellis not exclusively, but quite a bit for 20 plus years. I’d buy a 16 ga immediately, and a legacy would be my preferred. |
