Doesn’t get any better than that, lol. I have one myself with a red dot reflex. I primarily use slugs with it.

u/dustin_a123 Apr 14 '26

Any recommendations on red dots for it?

Holosun or PA is where it’s at for budget red dots

I went with a Bushnell, though Vortex seems to be the more popular option.

vortex viper shotgun red dot. you take the Picatinny off and it screws directly to the receiver in its place. full cowitness with your irons, which, with a ghost ring, is fuckin awesome.

I have the single dot version, kinda wish i went for the multi reticle cause you get something similar to the eotech donut.

I couldn’t find any in stock so I went for the A300 ultima patrol 😢

My brother has the 1301 Mod 2, it’s an amazing gun. I personally prefer the more tactical look of the M4.

Is this an actual Benelli or a clone?

u/dustin_a123 Apr 15 '26

Its an authentic Benelli, i saved for a while to get it as my first gun over the Turkish clones

u/EnterIPAddress Apr 15 '26

I went with a Turkish clone, specifically the Federation SA-4 for $800. Other than durability, they function essentially the same. So far, I haven’t had any issues on my end. In theory, I could slowly start replacing parts with genuine Benelli components.

Nice choice

u/mr_skipster Apr 16 '26

Is this guy levitating? Where’s his feet?

u/dustin_a123 Apr 20 '26

Floating horizontally over the gun

u/Jarrizar Apr 18 '26

I recommend no red dot. The fact all the Turkish guns come with ghost rings is awesome, don't sleep on them.

edit I now see you forked out the extra cash for the real deal. Either way my comment still stands.
