M2 comes with more chokes and the Comfortech stock. If memory serves, the Montefeltro only comes in a shipping box, not the hard case that the M2 includes.
The Montefeltro is a little less flexible in terms of aftermarket support, and there's no way to put a mag extension on one, so the M2 is a bit more versatile. I'm not sure what method Benelli uses for finishing their wood on the Montefeltro, but there are a lot of sprayed/dipped finish options for wood that aren't especially cost-intensive. I don't have an exact handle on the expense when you're working with the volume they are, but I'd wager that hot dipping the barrels on the Montefeltro is cheaper than the matte finish on the M2, even if only slightly. |

Agree with the "standard" versus "optional" features that differ between the two shotguns for some of the price difference.
-Chokes and comfort features from what I gather On another note: The newest revision of the Montefeltro comes with a barrel that has the higher vent rib barrel (just one model I believe). The other models have a lower profile vent rib barrel that for me at least, makes it damn near impossible to get on target without literally smashing my face into the stock. One is in-line with the top of the receiver the other sits a bit higher. I have indeed shot an older model Montefeltro many times but never got close to shooting as good with it as my M1 Super 90, SBEII or SportII. |

Quoted:
To the hive.. I was curious as to why the Montefeltro (pretty Wood and bluing) is roughly 999.99 and the M2 (Synthetic and matte finish) is $1299? Shoot the synthetic Montefeltro was at Academy for $729ish last month. IMO, the Montefeltro is a nicer looking gun and the M2 is more utility. Would any of you all know what the $200.00 difference is? I assume that the production costs of bluing and wood finishing of the Montefeltro, has to cost more than the finishing costs of an M2 (Synthetic and matte finish). Just curious...... Anyway, I bought the Montefeltro (wood) in 20ga for $950ish. Thanks, D That is ONE SWEET, LIGHT 20 gauge! Congratulations! I'm jealous. |
