    I can't feel my fingers!

    Beach, Have had the same issue for years (85) and counting... On the left hand, I wear a lined mitten with a heat warmer, in between the layers, on the back side. On the right hand, I wear a heated liner with an inexpensive knit glove on top. This works! I'll try and find the brand and send...

    Mini report and a few observations/questions on cattails and roosting sites

    Several years ago, while traveling to Miller, we saw a small flock (4-6) in a tree, 50 yard's from the highway. We thought about trying a sneak...decided it was probably futile. The tree was by itself and the birds could detect any movement. While road hunting a few years back, we saw 5/6...

    The Good, The Bad and The Down Right Ugly.

    Same farm...lots of birds. One area, third day, we hunted a long creek bed, north of town. We didn't hunt this spot in October, but have hunted it in previous years; flocks and very wary. Field south of 90 Alec limited in 15 minutes...all the birds flushed on his side of the field. Field...

    The Good, The Bad and The Down Right Ugly.

    Returned to Presho and fought 45 mph winds and very cold temps. Brutal hunting and poor shooting! Hope to have another go at it on the 19th.

    Benelli M2 - Problem!

    Amen to that remark...Apparently there haas been considerable remodeling of the magazine shell catch - bending, grinding, polishing. This seems to be the problem area as well as cutting the magazine spring.

    Benelli M2 - Problem!

    Brown Dog: In my case, it was a lack of holding the gun tight to the shoulder.

    Benelli M2 - Problem!

    Shot one heavy load and two 7/8oz today/Friday. No issues, except the shooter had problems hitting - shooting over the bird. Still not happy with the force it takes to insert a shell in the magazine. Perhaps that will improve with age...

    Benelli M2 - Problem!

    Plan to head to the range, again. will shoot heavier loads, although the gunsmith fired 7/8 oz and had no problems. I did go through the gun and didn't find excessive oil/grease. Thanks for the advice!

    Benelli M2 - Problem!

    Yes...the mechanic never hears/sees the problem and all looks fine. I shot about 2/3 of a box of shells repeating the same issue. I'll give it a go on Friday, maybe my luck will change.

    Benelli M2 - Problem!

    Visit to the gunsmith this Morning - Wednesday. He couldn't duplicate the no fire on second round. Suggested I shoot more rounds through the gun, including pheasant loads. Will report when I have a chance to visit the range...again.

    Benelli M2 - Problem!

    It's the second shell..not the first.

    Benelli M2 - Problem!

    I hope it's something insignificant - was frustrated that this rather expensive gun had little quirks that prevented it from operating. I also own two Browning A5's...never had any issues with either gun.

    Benelli M2 - Problem!

    The owner/manager of the store stripped it down and did a lube job on the gun. He owns a Benelli and is quite familiar with the gun(s); I trusted he knew what he was doing. I'm visiting a gunsmith tomorrow morning for testing and evaluation. Will report our findings et al. Jon

    Benelli M2 - Problem!

    The problem I'm having is "second shell" doesn't fire. Bolt is home on the first shell otherwise it wouldn't have fired. Visiting with a gunsmith tomorrow - will know more then. Thanks for all the input!

    Benelli M2 - Problem!

    Bolt seemed to be forward as far as it could be...Wolff 25%? Didn't think I would have to make changes to a pricey gun...
