glangler Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I haven't seen anything recently on the M2 by Salient. Most of the stuff posted on this site is about a year old. I have tried to contact them and only got an answering machine, and their website is down. Is their company having problems? Should I go with something else? I was all set to purchase one but now I'm not so sure? From the posts on this site it sounds like they make a nice M2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And also that I'm very new to this game.....VERY new. But, if I were in the market for a Benelli M2 all tricked out, I'd look at Benny Hill to do it. He will be Benelli's manufacturing partner on their competition guns they will market. That is my understanding from a recent post by him. His customers have very high praise for him and his work. Add Benelli's partnership with him and I think you have a clear winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trail3 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Glad I got my Salient last year! @ the $1,999.00 price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam B Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 from what I hear Matt Cheely of http://ccgunworks.com is starting to do 3 gun shotgun work, you may take a look there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rep70 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I have to give Mike at Accurate Iron a plug. I had him do two M2 for me. One for a friend, and one for myself. They have both ran flawless with everything I put through them. The work was second to none. I think any of the guys mentioned would build you a good shotgun, but I can happly recommend Mike and his work. Any I have done in the future will go to him. I included some pictures of mine.

AustinT Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 (edited) Send it to Mike at AI. I shoot with 8-10 guys (and gals) running his shotguns and they are pimptastic. When I decide I need an upgrade, that's where it'll be going. Edited December 28, 2011 by Spiff034 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSTEP Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Going on 7 months now waiting for my Salient M2. They have an POI issue with the 21 inch barrels. They are waiting for Benelli to replace them. So I wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
225 Fireman Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Wow very nice !! Mike has my M2 right now can't wait to get it from him and see how she runs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMSI Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 My Salient M2 is great. Handle one and then decide. My accuracy with slugs is execellent. No malfs in several thousand rounds. Eats any ammo I've tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Tischauser Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) Another big plus one for Accurate Iron. His guns not only come with more features than a Salient they are a better value than EVERYONE else's reworked Benelli's as well. This is why I now have 6 or so of them.

Jesse Tischauser Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 The only othe replace I would consider would be Red Neck Tactical if I needed a Nova. Which I did so they did that for me. I need to get some pictures up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronin16 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Any recommendations on how I should contact Mike at AI. I've tried patiently to send PM's and called the shop as well. Just want my M2 to look like the two above. Can't help being jealous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prreed10 Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I've looked at a couple SI Benelli's and they are very nice, but I was more impressed with the ones done by Benny or Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chainring Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I want a Nova, too. But first, I need an M2 to send Mike. Before he gets a 6 month back log. Are you going to be at SHOT, Mike? Is that your stippling up there on the M2 shown? Gonna add that to my list, if so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike cyrwus Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I have a couple types of stippling/texturing; that is the most popular type, in those pics above. I will be at SHOT for a few days only,tues-thurs is what Im planning. Im sure there will be some of my guns there to check out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
