It didn't really help that my local store had the M2 in stock and not the Affinity, or I may have gone the other way, hard to say. Not for any real particular reason, and I went through everything you described when looking at the differences. I just went through this and opted for the M2. To be clear, budget is not a limiting factor in my decision, I am willing to spend for an M2, I’m just having a difficult time seeing what advantages it offers over the Affinity. Before I pull the trigger, I just wanted to ask if there’s anything I’ve missed that makes the M2 a better gun than the Affinity? I’ve not found a single reason from all my research other than the “Benelli reputation” and people claim it is “better quality”, but I’ve yet to find any explanation in terms of what exactly that quality difference is. Initially I had planned on getting the M2, but after doing more research, there seem to be more advantages to the Affinity.
I’ve also read you have to be careful when drilling/tapping because of how thin the receiver is. Other feedback it seems I’ve read a lot of complaints of the M2 having a heavy trigger and not shooting POA (won’t really matter since I plan to use an optic). The only other discernible difference I’ve come across is the location of the recoil spring is in the stock for the M2 vs over the mag tube on the Affinity which makes them balance differently, and apparently is also a pain to get to on the M2.
The only advantage to the M2 seems to be the comfortech stock resulting in less recoil. The Franchi is already drilled/tapped and has oversized bolt controls.
I’ve done as much research and read through as many previous threads I can find.
On paper, these two guns are almost identical and from my understanding come out of the same factory. I’ve narrowed my next turkey gun down to these two options.
