The Benelli Performance Shop guns never fail to electrify. In the past we have seen these special editions tuned up for 3-Gun, sporting clays, and other specialized ventures. This year, Benelli is all about the hunting marker, with three Performance Shop models built just for taking game.

First up is the waterfowl edition. This gun comes with a Cerakote finish, further helping corrosion resistance for wet environments. Also featured are oversized controls to make things easier when wearing gloves in cold weather.  The stock is Gore Optifade camouflage, and it comes with a custom paracord sling.

Next up is an M2 designed for turkey hunters. This model also features a Cerakote finish, with a Bottomlands Camouflage pattern on the stock. Also included are custom Rob Roberts chokes, complete with an electronic printout of how that gun patterns with each choke. Not a sample of how a gun patterns. How YOUR gun patterns. The Turkey option also includes a ported barrel, and a Burris FastFire 2 red dot sight.

The real sweetheart of the bunch is the new Performance Shop Ultra Light. This gun has been taken to the extremes of lightweight, making it the lightest semi-auto in production in either 12 or 20 gauge. The vent rib is carbon fiber; these guys weren’t screwing around when it came time to put this gun on a diet. Those of you out walking the mud in search of game birds are going to be in love with this gun.
