Your leaving out the fact with the benelli you need to buy the full capacity tube and install it afterwards. Which is like 300 bucks plus gunsmith if your not mechanically inclined. Then to full compare it to the clone you need to put on a mlok forend which is another 200. 700 bucks isnt a small difference in price. Plus your looking at the high price for the clone which comes with i assume that weird camo paint job. But if you drop that it probably shaves another 200 bucks off the price.
@@high633 The full capacity model is another $99 to $200 on GB and there is a lot of those in stock. If you want the full tube plus mlok, it's $2200 total. If your sole purpose is to attach a light, then buy a clip accessory for the tube for a fraction of the price and you're good.
@@high633for what it’s worth, Dave’s Metal Works sells a high quality full length tube for like $100. It wasn’t that difficult for me to upgrade and I am no gunsmith
The Benelli M4 exists, yes. But so does the Beretta A300 and 1301. The only case I can see for this is "I want a Benelli M4, but I'm $200 shy" or "I like different things." Both are valid takes.
Mossburg 930 and 940 JM pro exists- are far more reliable than M4's (from what I've seen on TFBTV and GT) and cost about half or less anyway you look at it than a benelli and a few hundred less than the berreta models.
Also, if ur strictly looking for a semi-scatter-gatt, the new Mossberg 940 Thunder Ranch edition is a thing... I'm going with the Thunder Ranch edition 590, myself, but both models are a solid choice depending on what ur looking for and POU. Both are based on a well proven platform and have great features right outta the box.. Especially for the price👍🏻
Yeah, a real deal M4 with collospible stock and 7 shot tube is around $2300. While 1301 gen2 tac I have saw for as low as $1150(they increced price lately). And A300 Patrol is as low as $899. I don't get why someone want a turkneli M4 for $1600 when 1301 LTT I bought was like $1915 delivered with all options checked.

At that point you could even consider getting a MAC 1014 and swap out the internals with Benelli parts. 610$ for the wood furniture MAC, 18$ for the follower, 7$ extractor spring, 8$ mag spring, etc. Probably wouldn't even add up to more than 800, 900 bucks even if you needed to replace the recoil spring assembly😂

FWIW a friend of mine just got the MAC 1014 clone and he's run cheap bird shot, buck, and slugs and hasn't had a single hiccup yet. He loves it, so now his brother has one too. He's also got a MAC clone of the M2. Those are around $350 on battlehawk armory right now which is insane! I paid around $2,400 for a gen 2 M4 LE with the telescoping stock and multi rail, oversized controls, factory 7rd tube... I don't regret buying the real Benelli especially if I were to trust my life to it, but holy cow they're expensive. Only silver lining is even a Benelli costs less to fully kit out than basically any rifle. You pick up a SCAR, MR556, or anything else in that tier, you'll have $5-7k in it by the time you're done. The gen 2 M4 needs NOTHING unless you want a red dot. Other than that, throw your velcro cards on and go.

BENELLI M3 SUPER 90 PICKUP back in 1990 for ABOUT $1000 SHIPPED to my LOCAL FFL this was AUTO/ PUMP AWESOME gun made me Feel SARA CONNER FROM T2 that gun Could take down 8 people in 5 seconds
Had a similar one, tore it apart Dremelled it, checked the RH on parts. Aligned, loctited everything. Changed the stock to wood added a flashlight and sling. A sling attachment point on the rear of the bolt side of receiver. Sold it to a guy from the range for the price of 2.
I had a 1st Gen Benelli M1 Super 90 that absolutely refused to function with anything but full power heavy buckshot. Now those are not gas guns and use the recoil spring inside the bolt to cycle so they're a bit different...but I'm betting the problem encountered here is the same one, that being the hammer spring is too heavy. Of course to cycle the bolt has to fully re-cock the hammer and that effort is a lot to overcome especially since the bolt makes initial contact so low on the hammer that it has little leverage. Remember that's one of the ways we tailor 1911's to their ammo by adjusting the radius of the firing pin retaining plate. Anyhow...the hammer spring was being compressed right to coil bind when fully cocked...and a simple removal of one coil made the gun run 100% with anything looking like a shotgun shell afterwards. Loved that gun...and just wonder how many 'fussy about ammo' guns out there just need a tiny tweak of spring tension to fix them? If you have a 'fussy' gun...check that hammer spring.
I feel so blessed because my parents former landlord once sold me a benelli M4 for $800 (with the receipt, they had paid $1,600 for it). They shot it 4 times and they decided they didn't want a Shotgun anymore. It was WILD. I've had it for 6 years now, and I LOVE it.
Honestly it makes no sense to buy this over the M4 in my opinion. There’s just not enough savings to justify a knockoff when you’re talking a 300 dollar difference. I will say it looks like a great shotgun but it’s about $700-800 too much for a knockoff I’m sorry. Just save an extra month or so and get the real deal. Great video as usual bro
I can't help but appreciate the craftsmanship that went into this shotgun, even if it's a departure from the iconic Benelli M4. Sure, it may not have the same heritage or prestige, but let's give credit where it's due.
@@biggysnaps2827 That's what I was thinking 😆 The M4 has multiple years on the field to prove itself for reliability. $1,600 or $1,700 are getting way to close to the cost of the real deal to even consider.
so nice to see u do a vid on these new turkish bolt-action shottys that look cool like the BM4 XD, on a more serious note it does look baller. and so do ur vids
Ill always love my m1 super 90. Its never failed me. Been a boat paddle, a club, and a crutch. Like an actual crutch not an emotional one. Well maybe a little of an emotional crutch. Had it almost 2 decades and i wouldnt sell it for anything.
yes I understand I'm late to commenting but that issue with the fiocchi bird shot is something my friends had the same issue with last year in a semi auto hunting shotgun to the extent of partially tearing brass off the shell seems to be a QC issue with their ammo not just isolated to us that is wild
Canuck makes the best Benelli M4 clone (the Canuck Operator). Mine runs everything flawlessly. Paid just over $900 brand new. Looks good in OD green, feels good. Runs great under hard pressure.
I think the stock is causing malfunctions. If the bolt is meant to have the inertia to travel enough to eject the spent shell casing from the original design, then the recoil mitigation of the stock is slowing the bolt short of ejection.
Thanks for the honest review, pay that much money for a shotty that wobbles it's sights off is a joke tbh. Least for a 350$ clone, you half expect it to fail in ways, fix it and break it in and by the end it's go to go and was less than most commercial AR's.
Anything this man posts makes everything better, it makes gaming better, it makes food better, it makes socializing better, and it makes my life better :)
I have one of the turknelli knockoff M4s I think called the SDS Tac-12, which I think was a slightly better version of the Panzer S4. Initially it just hung up on everything, birdshot, slug, buck, whatever. I found out it was basically just the feed ramp that was too sharp an angle. Polished it up and now it runs everything. Yes even cheapo bird shot. I think it was a well spent $600. Not gonna shell out $1600 for a clone when you can get a real one for $200 more but $600 was a good price
FYI, you are not supposed to shoot without a choke. Just have correct choke for the shot - cylinder or improved cylider is ok for slugs. Now the thread on the barrel is most likely gone. As far as the turkish shotguns go, I 100% agree, they are not there yet. Maybe some day.. But this makes you appreciate crafstmanship and know-how that goes to (more expensive) OGs.
Now it ain’t semi auto, and it doesn’t look as cool, but it’s still damn hard to beat the value of a maverick 88 security. Super reliable, 8+1, and ~$270
You mentioning the Safari vest being great with a shotgun just made me think back to Jurassic Park and clever girl. You totally missed it even though it's not a SPAS
Had a Gforce Arms SAX2T. It ran 3" shells out of the box without issue. 2-3/4" were hit and miss and also caused super weak ejection. After about 80 or 90 rounds it cleared up and ate whatever I fed it. Paid 350 for it. Biggest issue I had was the trigger not resetting after a shot. It was happening at random. I opened a support ticket with GForce Arms and they sent me shipping tags to send it in to have em work on it. RIght before I sent it off I decided to take out the trigger pack and take a look. After some time I figured out it wan't even the trigger. It was the safety. Turns out the notch on the crossbolt safety where the rear of the trigger indexes into it was getting lodged into the channel for it, if I squeezed the trigger hard. So I cleaned up the channel of the safety, taking a few thousands of an inch off. (Of course keeping plenty of material still there for the safety to work) After cleaning it up it wasn't an issue again. Going in I expected problems being it's an 350 dollar semi auto turk shotty.
Turk here, just get a 1301 at that price range, the reason you're paying that much of a premium compared to other Turknellis is the QC. Every Turknelli comes from the same city and province (Beyşehir, Konya) with 10 CNC shops per district and 100 brands per CNC shop using the exact same parts. Question is was your gun given a QC pass by a sheepherder or a highschool dropout?
You get what you pay for, if you are on a budget and still want a semi-auto get a CZ1012 at worst. They are imported by CZ and not as returned as Stoeger
@@OrElseYouWillDie100 These aren't even built or QC in Turkey. 3 parts are made in Turkey, it's shipped to US where it's finished with the rest being US parts.
Why would you pay 1301 prices, even slightly more, for a Turkish knockoff? The whole reason of going with knockoffs is because they're significantly cheaper. Get a 1301, save yourself a ton and get an A300, or pony up just a little bit more and get an actual M4. This thing is pointless.
@immikeurnot bullshit, sample size of 3 in my friend group and never had 1 failure in probably close to 800rds on all 3 guns (800 rds per gun). We've seen more than that on real banellis on GT and TFBTV. M4's are over hyped to hell and back.
Looking at getting a Panzer M4 SPEED PRO they’re around $600. Look solid MLok, Pic rails, ports, pistol grip. +2 tube extension if you want to buy it. A 1:1 replica you can put any Benelli parts on there. For $600 I can get a tactical shotgun with wood finish and then change out parts at will to make it reliable. But then it’s like dammit should I just get the A300 then
I bought a Panzer Arms M4 and replaced the stock with their adjustable one, threw on a Vortex red dot, Midwest Industries handguard, muzzle brake choke tube (because why not), a crimson trace light I had lying around for another build I never got around to and a full length mag tube. Including ammo (500 00 buck from black aces, and 500 turkish slugs) the total cost was about the same as the Orthos. I've thus far put a little under 500 rounds of various slugs, 00 buck and high velocity buckshot through it without issue. So far. The turkish slugs are garbage tier, at least one of them was loaded super light and barely kicked (gun still cycled fine though), and just looking at the rifling on the slugs themselves as well as the "hollow point" on the tip, they were only good for range use. The 00 buck from black aces was/is fine. Is it a Benelli? No. Is it just as good? No. Is it "good enough" if you just want the looks and a fun range toy? Absolutely. I wouldn't trust it for home defense, let alone actual combat use. One day I'll get the real one.
It could be possible that the managed recoil buffer stock, is affecting the inertia cycling system of the bolt. Using lighter shot shell loads, with this style stock, may contribute to ejection problems.
At that price point I wouldn’t do it. I bought a new m4 le model with the tele stock and full capacity with night sights for 1900. You gotta shop a little. I will always pay more for a known product. I can see the turknelli at the sun 500 mark but not this. I am curious if the gun was new when you got it. Even a real m4 wouldn’t low brass until broken in with a few hundred buckshot and slugs. At least that was my experience and the experience of several other owners I have talked with.
As cool as thay thing looks, for the price if you're on a budget and you have to have a semi😉 get either the Mossberg 940 pro tac or the Beretta A300 both can be had for about $1000 and then you have money left over for a decent optic and accessories and you have an American made(yes the Beretta is USA made) shotgunnthat you know the company will likely be around 10 years from now to warranty the thing if you abuse it.
Not sure if it was just me but it looked like the benelli hard much harder ejection? I wonder if the porting hurts its cycling. I would be into it if it cycled everything but having malfunctions is concerning for the money.
Turkey is plenty capable of producing any quality you want. It’s the importers that are setting the specs. They are basically telling the manufacturers what price point they want, and they manufacture down to it. This gun does have a lifetime, transferable warranty though. However, for less than a grand, you can get the LE Beretta A300 Patrol, put on an optic, light and sling and still be under $1500.
I bought my 1301 for 1300 a couple years ago. Not sure exactly how much they are now. Extension tube. And a case of limited flight buck shot later. It still works just fine.
My buddy has a M4 , ive never ran it but i have held it and stroked the hell out of it , he had a ton of money in her , tube ,furniture gas work rails and a Trijicon , if i remember right like 4 grand ish ?? Idk ? It nice though

I can't help but appreciate the craftsmanship that went into this shotgun, even if it's a departure from the iconic Benelli M4. Sure, it may not have the same heritage or prestige, but let's give credit where it's due.
there is no credit due here.

That's what I was thinking 😆
The M4 has multiple years on the field to prove itself for reliability.
$1,600 or $1,700 are getting way to close to the cost of the real deal to even consider.
@@biggysnaps2827the turknelli garand thumb used performed better than the actual benelli in the recent tourture test video
so nice to see u do a vid on these new turkish bolt-action shottys that look cool like the BM4 XD, on a more serious note it does look baller. and so do ur vids
Ill always love my m1 super 90. Its never failed me. Been a boat paddle, a club, and a crutch. Like an actual crutch not an emotional one. Well maybe a little of an emotional crutch. Had it almost 2 decades and i wouldnt sell it for anything.
yes I understand I'm late to commenting but that issue with the fiocchi bird shot is something my friends had the same issue with last year in a semi auto hunting shotgun to the extent of partially tearing brass off the shell seems to be a QC issue with their ammo not just isolated to us that is wild

Minecraft music over a Clint Smith quote is not what I expected this early into 2024.
You thought I wouldn’t catch the MW2 intro theme, but I did.
The minecraft music in the background fits so well lol
Love the “No country for old men” reference!
Canuck makes the best Benelli M4 clone (the Canuck Operator). Mine runs everything flawlessly. Paid just over $900 brand new. Looks good in OD green, feels good. Runs great under hard pressure.
Minecraft music while shooting watermelons really came out of left field. Kind of a vibe
I died at the my wife would be really mad at me. He’s so real for that
Feel free to do reviews on Turkish shotguns whenever you want especially Derya and Sulun
I own a Benelli M-Faux my Revolution armoury here in canada and I quite like it.
I think the stock is causing malfunctions. If the bolt is meant to have the inertia to travel enough to eject the spent shell casing from the original design, then the recoil mitigation of the stock is slowing the bolt short of ejection.
Thanks for the honest review, pay that much money for a shotty that wobbles it's sights off is a joke tbh. Least for a 350$ clone, you half expect it to fail in ways, fix it and break it in and by the end it's go to go and was less than most commercial AR's.
the dreadnaught horn genuinly scared me

Bro i love the minecraft music during the slow mo
I have one of the turknelli knockoff M4s I think called the SDS Tac-12, which I think was a slightly better version of the Panzer S4. Initially it just hung up on everything, birdshot, slug, buck, whatever. I found out it was basically just the feed ramp that was too sharp an angle. Polished it up and now it runs everything. Yes even cheapo bird shot. I think it was a well spent $600. Not gonna shell out $1600 for a clone when you can get a real one for $200 more but $600 was a good price
FYI, you are not supposed to shoot without a choke. Just have correct choke for the shot - cylinder or improved cylider is ok for slugs. Now the thread on the barrel is most likely gone. As far as the turkish shotguns go, I 100% agree, they are not there yet. Maybe some day.. But this makes you appreciate crafstmanship and know-how that goes to (more expensive) OGs.
Now it ain’t semi auto, and it doesn’t look as cool, but it’s still damn hard to beat the value of a maverick 88 security. Super reliable, 8+1, and ~$270
You mentioning the Safari vest being great with a shotgun just made me think back to Jurassic Park and clever girl. You totally missed it even though it's not a SPAS
I miss the Benelli M-Faux title. RIP in pepperonis
The background music is a very nice touch. I thought music was on in another window
I use to run a 870 with the Blackhawk Knocks stock... it double kicks and would induce failures
Great video as always Admin
Had a Gforce Arms SAX2T. It ran 3" shells out of the box without issue. 2-3/4" were hit and miss and also caused super weak ejection. After about 80 or 90 rounds it cleared up and ate whatever I fed it. Paid 350 for it.
Biggest issue I had was the trigger not resetting after a shot. It was happening at random. I opened a support ticket with GForce Arms and they sent me shipping tags to send it in to have em work on it. RIght before I sent it off I decided to take out the trigger pack and take a look. After some time I figured out it wan't even the trigger. It was the safety. Turns out the notch on the crossbolt safety where the rear of the trigger indexes into it was getting lodged into the channel for it, if I squeezed the trigger hard.
So I cleaned up the channel of the safety, taking a few thousands of an inch off. (Of course keeping plenty of material still there for the safety to work)
After cleaning it up it wasn't an issue again.
Going in I expected problems being it's an 350 dollar semi auto turk shotty.
Turk here, just get a 1301 at that price range, the reason you're paying that much of a premium compared to other Turknellis is the QC.
Every Turknelli comes from the same city and province (Beyşehir, Konya) with 10 CNC shops per district and 100 brands per CNC shop using the exact same parts. Question is was your gun given a QC pass by a sheepherder or a highschool dropout?
You get what you pay for, if you are on a budget and still want a semi-auto get a CZ1012 at worst. They are imported by CZ and not as returned as Stoeger
@@OrElseYouWillDie100 These aren't even built or QC in Turkey. 3 parts are made in Turkey, it's shipped to US where it's finished with the rest being US parts.
@@THCv3 No difference, still a ripoff
@@THCv3 You further prove my point, paying for the QC inspection costs less in Turkey unlike Orthos does in the US
My son bought a 10/12 when they 1st came out. That shotgun didn't even make it thru its 1st duck season. @@OrElseYouWillDie100
Why would you pay 1301 prices, even slightly more, for a Turkish knockoff? The whole reason of going with knockoffs is because they're significantly cheaper.
Get a 1301, save yourself a ton and get an A300, or pony up just a little bit more and get an actual M4. This thing is pointless.
Smoothest ad intro/Segway seen yet. 😎 ... table add. smooth touch
Minecraft music and guns, now that's an unexpected combination 😂😂
Bro can u do a video of cartel gear breakdown next video honestly curious what they be rocking
Mossberg 930 and 940JM Pro guns are still about 700-900 used (new?).
930 is same reliability of Turkish.
@immikeurnot bullshit, sample size of 3 in my friend group and never had 1 failure in probably close to 800rds on all 3 guns (800 rds per gun).
We've seen more than that on real banellis on GT and TFBTV. M4's are over hyped to hell and back.
Having worked on some older Italian cars. I question their craftsmanship ship. They make them beautiful, but function wise …….
Looking at getting a Panzer M4 SPEED PRO they’re around $600.
Look solid MLok, Pic rails, ports, pistol grip. +2 tube extension if you want to buy it. A 1:1 replica you can put any Benelli parts on there.
For $600 I can get a tactical shotgun with wood finish and then change out parts at will to make it reliable. But then it’s like dammit should I just get the A300 then
The way I see it, ported barrel, mlok rail, cerakote finish. For a little less than m4 MSRP, badass gun just like he said the m4 still exists
I already got 2 cheap Turkenelli knock off M4's.. and for that kind of money I would just get a Beretta 1301!
I have an unhealthy amount of nostalgia associated with the Minecraft soundtrack. Enough that it actually makes me sad.
Truly a good day when you upload, King
Love the shades and the vest, very 1970 "Villain" look.
I bought a Panzer Arms M4 and replaced the stock with their adjustable one, threw on a Vortex red dot, Midwest Industries handguard, muzzle brake choke tube (because why not), a crimson trace light I had lying around for another build I never got around to and a full length mag tube. Including ammo (500 00 buck from black aces, and 500 turkish slugs) the total cost was about the same as the Orthos. I've thus far put a little under 500 rounds of various slugs, 00 buck and high velocity buckshot through it without issue. So far.
The turkish slugs are garbage tier, at least one of them was loaded super light and barely kicked (gun still cycled fine though), and just looking at the rifling on the slugs themselves as well as the "hollow point" on the tip, they were only good for range use. The 00 buck from black aces was/is fine.
Is it a Benelli? No. Is it just as good? No. Is it "good enough" if you just want the looks and a fun range toy? Absolutely. I wouldn't trust it for home defense, let alone actual combat use. One day I'll get the real one.
5:48 I don't have to find a hiding place, like you!!! hou hon hou hun
Nice review. For the money I think I would go for the Beretta A300, or just go all the way and get the M4.
It could be possible that the managed recoil buffer stock, is affecting the inertia cycling system of the bolt. Using lighter shot shell loads, with this style stock, may contribute to ejection problems.
Nah those watermelon sound effects were evil 💀
Hi point did the spring recoil pads better lol. Great video!!!
At that price point I wouldn’t do it. I bought a new m4 le model with the tele stock and full capacity with night sights for 1900. You gotta shop a little. I will always pay more for a known product. I can see the turknelli at the sun 500 mark but not this. I am curious if the gun was new when you got it. Even a real m4 wouldn’t low brass until broken in with a few hundred buckshot and slugs. At least that was my experience and the experience of several other owners I have talked with.
Knock off pizza is still good.
Is there anything like having ah "hand tossed" crust?

As cool as thay thing looks, for the price if you're on a budget and you have to have a semi😉 get either the Mossberg 940 pro tac or the Beretta A300 both can be had for about $1000 and then you have money left over for a decent optic and accessories and you have an American made(yes the Beretta is USA made) shotgunnthat you know the company will likely be around 10 years from now to warranty the thing if you abuse it.
I really love those little cinematic scenes lol, great review btw. I’m still waiting for a new episode of rip the drip
I was expecting around 500 or 600 but dang that almost the real deal price range lol
You should have gotten the 3 year protection plan plan for only $5.00 more on the mainstays folding table.
Now that's Greta value!

Not sure if it was just me but it looked like the benelli hard much harder ejection? I wonder if the porting hurts its cycling. I would be into it if it cycled everything but having malfunctions is concerning for the money.
Yeah BUDDY! BOUGHT MINE A MONTH AGO AND IT'S ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!! LOVE IT MAN!!!
I didn't know I was going to get your ad break before the video
Turkey is plenty capable of producing any quality you want. It’s the importers that are setting the specs. They are basically telling the manufacturers what price point they want, and they manufacture down to it. This gun does have a lifetime, transferable warranty though. However, for less than a grand, you can get the LE Beretta A300 Patrol, put on an optic, light and sling and still be under $1500.
1300 fps is usually a minimum for these to be consistent
I bought my 1301 for 1300 a couple years ago. Not sure exactly how much they are now. Extension tube. And a case of limited flight buck shot later. It still works just fine.
My buddy has a M4 , ive never ran it but i have held it and stroked the hell out of it , he had a ton of money in her , tube ,furniture gas work rails and a Trijicon , if i remember right like 4 grand ish ?? Idk ? It nice though
Got my benelli October of 2015 for $1699
Got mine last year for 2k. Thanks Biden.
