Advanced Performance Features & Key Technologies

Clean-Cycling Inertia-Driven® Action

At the mechanical core of the Benelli M2 Field 11173 for sale is the ultra-reliable Inertia-Driven® system. Operating with just three main moving parts—the bolt body, inertia spring, and rotating bolt head—this streamlined action harnesses the firearm’s recoil energy to cycle light target loads up to heavy 3-inch magnum shells without manual gas adjustments. By keeping gas, smoke, and burnt powder entirely within the barrel rather than cycling through the action, the Inertia-Driven® system runs significantly cleaner and requires far less maintenance than conventional gas-operated shotguns.

ComforTech® Recoil Mitigation System

Carrying a lightweight 5.9-lb shotgun all day provides massive mobility, but heavy 3-inch field loads can generate noticeable recoil. The Benelli M2 Field counters this with its integrated ComforTech® synthetic stock system. Featuring a precision grid of shock-absorbing chevrons, the entire stock flexes dynamically under load to dissipate recoil energy—significantly reducing felt recoil and muzzle climb so you remain locked on target for quick secondary shots.

26-Inch Crio® Barrel & Sight System

To deliver dense, uniform shot patterns, this model comes equipped with a 26-inch cryogenically treated Crio® barrel paired with interchangeable Crio® chokes (IC, M, F). Up top, a high-visibility Red Bar front sight ensures swift target acquisition against low-contrast backgrounds in early morning or late afternoon hunting light.

Field Utility, Ergonomics & Maintenance Highlights

Optimal 26-Inch Barrel Swing & Balance

The 26-inch barrel length strikes the ideal balance between rapid pointability in thick cover and smooth, steady tracking across open water. Whether flushing fast-moving pheasants or tracking pass-shooting ducks, the additional sighting plane gives shooters superior lead control without feeling nose-heavy.

All-Weather Synthetic Ergonomics

Built to endure freezing rain, mud, and salt marsh exposure, the durable black synthetic stock will not swell, warp, or crack under harsh environmental changes. Textured gripping surfaces along the wrist and fore-end guarantee a firm grip even when wearing wet gloves.

Simple Field Stripping & Cleaning

Because the Inertia-Driven® mechanism eliminates gas cylinders, pistons, and complex O-rings, field stripping the M2 Field takes under a minute. Routine maintenance requires minimal effort, keeping your action running smoothly during multi-day hunting trips far from home.
