Benelli M2

I've ordered a Benelli M2 12 gauge 26" barrel in black. I now have the option to take the black one or the same gun/same price in the APG camo. I have a Super Black Eagle 12 gauge 26" barrel in black. So I am thinking about the camo just so I don't accidently pickup the wrong gun.

What would you do?

I haven't had a problem with my camo guns. . .I make sure I use cleaners that are synthetic safe. Maybe it is a problem with the Benelli guns? Not sure, but my camo ones are just as good as the day I bought them, minus the wear and tear just like my black ones. . .the scratches don't show up as good as the black is one thing I noticed.

I've got an M1 in camo with no blistering. I've had it for 4 years and I'm really hard on a gun. I've hunted in the rain/snow and waited weeks to clean and had no problems. I would get the camo if it's the same price.

Actually I was thinking of Browning when thinking of camo blistering. I know we are talking about Benelli but if the camo can blister on one make and can do it on another. The main thing is that the camo finishes do show wear alot more than plain black. And that goes with any make. Plus camo finishes run appox $100 more and they sure don't help you shot better.

I have both and really nothing against either. . .the 935 Flyway camo I wanted because it is only offered in camo. . .haven't had a problem with any chipping blistering or anything. My two buddy's have Extrema1s and no problems with their guns either.

I am not saying the blistering can't happen, it can, but I often wonder if it is some type of cleaner that may have caused it or not cleaning properly?
