Taran Tactical Innovation's Benelli M2 product review

I just returned from shooting in the Bushmaster TarHeel 3 Gun Championship in North Carolina which was the maiden voyage for my new Benelli M2 that was fully customized at Taran Tactical Innovations by Taran Butler.  

The customization that was done included Taran's custom lightened bolt carrier, machining and polishing of the loading port, a new custom lifter, extended bolt release, oversized safety, a trigger job, stippling of the forearm and stock, new HiViz front sight and Nordic extended magazine tube. The picture below shows some of the modifications I have described.

Prior to heading to North Carolina I had put only 12 slug rounds through the shotgun.  Historically I have struggled with my shotgun at matches but this was surprisingly easy to shoot.  It hits at point of impact including slug shots beyond 60 yards.  Even the flying clays were easily neutralized   Through the entire match I was able to go one for one on all shotgun targets expect for one which was my fault for pulling off it too early. Not one shot failed to feed, fire or eject. The shotgun ran flawlessly.  The trigger and action was incredible smooth and the loading of the shotgun was lightyears easier with the machining and polishing that was done to the loading port.  You can see the TTI Benelli M2 in action from the TarHeel 3 Gun match in the video below. Now when you watch the video bear in mind I can't and don't have the super human shooting skills like Taran Butler but this will demonstrate the ease of shooting for even us normal shooters.  With more time behind the trigger it will only get smoother and faster.

The bottom line is the Taran Tactical Innovations Benelli M2 is a smooth, reliable and definitely a set up that is worth the investment.  Taran's customizations have been competition tested by many shooters of all levels and his workmanship and quality is top notch.  For more information on the products and services Taran Tactical Innovations offers you can visit them on their website at www.TaranTacticalInnovations.com.
