It’s a no-nonsense scattergun for upland birds, waterfowl, and sporting clays.

Key Features
- Inertia Operating System – No gas ports to clean means less fouling and more time shooting. It cycles everything from 2¾-inch target loads to 3-inch magnums without adjustment.
- Fiber Optic Front Sight – Bright green fiber optic grabs light fast, giving you a clear aiming point in low-light timber or early-morning fields.
- Drilled-and-Tapped Receiver – Ready for a scope mount or red dot, so you can dial in for turkeys or slugs without sending the gun to a smith.
- Fixed Synthetic Field Stock with Recoil Pad – The stock won’t warp in wet weather, and the thick rubber pad tames recoil on heavy loads, keeping you on target for follow-up shots.
- Benelli/Mobil Choke Tube System – Includes three chokes (full, modified, improved cylinder) so you can tailor patterns to your hunt – steel shot compatible per Spandau specs.
Who It’s For
This Spandau S2 is for the hunter who wants a reliable semi-auto without paying premium gas-gun prices. It suits upland hunters chasing pheasant and quail, waterfowlers working flooded timber, and clay shooters looking for a budget-friendly option that still runs. The Realtree APX camo blends into late-season fields and marshes, and the inertia action means less time scrubbing carbon.

FAQ
What loads does the Spandau S2 cycle reliably?
Per Spandau specs, the S2 cycles 2¾-inch target loads (1⅛ oz at 1200 fps) up to 3-inch magnum waterfowl loads. Stick to 1200+ fps for the first 50 rounds to break in the inertia spring.
Can I use steel shot with the included chokes?
Yes – the Benelli/Mobil chokes included are marked for steel shot use. Stick to improved cylinder or modified for steel to avoid choke damage.
Does the receiver come drilled for a rail?
Yes. The receiver is drilled and tapped for a standard scope base or red dot mount. You’ll need to buy the rail separately.
Is the stock adjustable for length of pull?
No. The stock is a fixed synthetic with a 14-inch length of pull. There are no spacers or shims included.
