This process is exceptionally fast and reliable, with even the poorest of ammo being extracted with ease. This inertia cycles the bolt back into the receiver, re-cocking the trigger mechanism and taking the next cartridge from the magazine. Behind this is a recoil spring on firing, the inertia of the shot throws the bolt on to the recoil spring. The mechanism is designed around a rotating bolt that locks into the barrel breech on close. This does not mean that they are crude or agricultural - quite the opposite the design and engineering is superb. The reason these guns are so respected is they are simple, durable and, above all, reliable. The next day, I sold my Beretta and invested in a Benelli. Six months later, I found out why when a team of keepers from Leadhills joined us for a clear-up day at West Wycombe Park, all toting M1 Super 90 Benellis. I could not really understand why a keeper would want a Benelli over the Beretta semi-auto. When the guns arrived they looked awkward, unrefined and plain. Working in the gun room, I would receive orders to equip these keepers in their task, and top of the list was always a Benelli M1. The grouse keeper was equipped, supported and rewarded accordingly. Mark and Sir Edward’s partnership gave grouse moor management a long overdue burst of youth, enthusiasm and investment. My first introduction to the M series Benelli semi-auto was 20 years ago when I was working for Mark Osborne and Sir Edward Dashwood in what was the early days of the E J Churchill Group.
These guns are to grouse moor management what the Winchester lever-action rifle was to winning the West. Whenever I handle a Benelli M series semi-automatic, it makes me think of the king of gamebirds, the grouse.
