Benelli has introduced a left-hand 20-gauge M2 Field, the only such semi-automatic shotgun currently available. Also new in the M2 Field line are 12-gauge and 20-gauge Compact models, both of which have a 131/8-inch length of pull.
Barrel lengths are 26 inches and 24 inches, respectively. Rounding out Benelli news, the classic svelte Montefeltro is now available with a synthetic stock.
