Description
The Spandau S2 Field 12 Gauge 28″ Semi-Auto Shotgun is a field-grade scattergun built for hunters and clay shooters who need reliable cycling without breaking the bank. This inertia-driven 12 gauge runs 2¾” and 3″ shells through a 28-inch vent-rib barrel with a fiber optic front sight, using the Benelli/Mobil choke pattern for flexible shot string control. At just over 6.5 pounds unloaded, the S2 Field points fast and swings smooth, making it a solid choice for upland birds, waterfowl, and sporting clays.

Key Features
- Inertia Operating System – why it matters: No gas system to clean or foul, so the action stays reliable through heavy hunting loads and target shells alike. Less maintenance means more time in the field.
- 28″ Vent-Rib Barrel – why it matters: The longer barrel smooths out swing on crossing targets and gives a 30-inch sight plane for precise shot placement. The vent rib dissipates heat fast during rapid strings.
- Benelli/Mobil Choke Thread Pattern – why it matters: You can swap in any standard Mobil-style choke tube from brands like Briley or Carlson’s to dial in pattern density for ducks, pheasants, or clays. No proprietary lock-in.
- Fiber Optic Front Sight – why it matters: The bright red or green dot grabs your eye in low-light dawn hunts or overcast afternoons, cutting acquisition time by a fraction of a second.
- Fixed Synthetic Stock with Recoil Pad – why it matters: The black synthetic resists weather, mud, and scratches, while the recoil pad soaks up the punch from 3″ magnum loads without beating up your shoulder.
Who It’s For
The Spandau S2 Field is for the budget-conscious hunter who still demands reliable function. It fits the guy who wants a dedicated 12 gauge for doves, ducks, and the occasional 5-stand round—without spending on a Beretta or Benelli. If you’re a newer shooter stepping into semi-autos, the inertia system forgives light loads better than many gas guns.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Lightweight at about 6.5 lbs, easy to carry all day in the field.
- Pro: Inertia action cycles 2¾” target loads reliably once broken in.
- Con: The synthetic stock has a slightly rough texture that can snag on brush—a quick sand or grip tape fixes it.

The Spandau S2 Field undercuts both the Stoeger M3000 and Mossberg 930 by over $100 while offering the same inertia reliability as the M3000. The Mossberg 930’s gas system is softer on recoil but heavier and needs more cleaning. For the money, the S2 Field gives you the lightest build and a proven choke system.
FAQ
What shells does the Spandau S2 Field cycle best?
It cycles 2¾” target loads (1 1/8 oz) reliably after a 50-round break-in. For 3″ magnum hunting loads, it cycles 100% out of the box. Light 1 oz loads may need a few extra rounds to loosen the inertia spring.
Can I use aftermarket chokes on the S2 Field?
Yes, the barrel uses the Benelli/Mobil thread pattern. Any Mobil-style choke tube from Carlson’s, Briley, or Trulock will thread in. Standard flush and extended tubes both fit.
Is the Spandau S2 Field good for left-handed shooters?
The stock is ambidextrous with a neutral cast, but the shell ejection is right-side only. Lefties will need to keep their face clear of the ejection port. No left-handed version is available.
Does the S2 Field come with choke tubes?
Yes, it ships with three Benelli/Mobil chokes: Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder. You can swap them with the included wrench.
What is the warranty on the Spandau S2 Field?
Per manufacturer specs, the S2 Field carries a 1-year limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Warranty does not cover wear items like springs or recoil pads.
