Haven't had the opportunity to shoot it yet. I think it will shoot great. Benelli shotguns have the lowest recoil I can think of. When I worked t the gun store and range two of the guys had a race with Benelli M-4's. Those guns stayed flat while they were shooting.How does that Benelli run for you? I'm eyeing their M4 that I would LOVE to have...
I have owned many Mini 14's. It was the first major caliber semi auto I bought. They all worked flawlessly. I liked that they looked like an M-14. I have an Mini-30 now. I can run my .30 cal suppressor on it with subsonic ammo and it's fairly quite for that size caliber. Still ear safe. They hold their value well too. I also was able to get good accuracy with them too. With a scope about 2". I just looked at Gun Broker. New or used they are close to $1000. If you get one get a Ranch Rifle one. What I really want is a Ruger AC 5.56. Those are select fire. In 2014 I could have got one for about $8000. Now they are about $18,000. Machine gun prices have gone through the roof. MAC 10's were about $5000 now they are $13,000. Uzi's were about $8000. Now they are over $20,000. I told my wife they would be a good investment back then. Looks like I was right.
