How feasable is using a Benelli M2 Tactical for Turkey Login/Join

hunting. Of course I would need a plug to limit rounds and I have a turkey choke that I could use with it. Reason I'm asking is that I can mount a red dot on the Picatinny rail and make my aiming easier than my Super Nova.. It has an 18 inch barrel.

No problem at all. Just get the right choke tube.
Remember that the barrel is crio finished so you'll need that kind of choke if you aren't going to use the full choke it comes with

As long as you wear lots of nylon and Velcro, it should be fine. Maybe add a plate carrier, just to be on the safe side. Tactical Turkey! Wink

No, seriously...it sounds like a good setup.

"The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with." -Douglas Adams

“It is just as difficult and dangerous to try to free a people that wants to remain servile as it is to try to enslave a people that wants to remain free."
-Niccolo Machiavelli

The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. -Mencken

You should be good to go with the plug and a choke. No different than the M2 Field Shotgun model fitted with a red dot. Barrel length would be the biggest difference, other than the tactical look.

Absolutely. I've been known to carry my M4 on days when I am doing a lot of walking/crawling/stalking. Key is finding choke and load that gives you a good pattern at your comfortable, ethical range.

Seems like 50 is the new 30

Get the correct choke and be sure to pattern the gun + load combo that you're using at the various expected ranges.
