Benelli carbon fiber rib, wiggle.

[Kack745]

I own a benelli m2 and really like the gun. I would like ( thought) to get a cordoba, but here of the carbon fiber rib wiggle. I contacted benelli and this is their reply “ Thank you for your interest but there is no barrel with a steel rib for that gun and the rib will always move. Thank you again.”
So my question is, for those that open a benelli with the carbon fiber rib, obviously it must wiggle, how much ? And don’t it really bother you ? I just don’t know if I could live it.

Big fan of the M2 as well. Kind of gun you can paddle your boat, pry your truck out of the mud, dropped every pointed bird your dog finds and go 25 straight on the trap range, gun still looking like you stopped at the range on your way home from doing all those things.
Having something sloppy on a Benelli seems counterintuitive. I’ve busted the rib off of more than one gun hunting chukars not sure a wiggly rib would survive.
I don’t own a cordoba, never heard of this issue. I’ll pay attention and forward anything I learn.
Welcome aboard.

That just doesn't sound right to me, especially on a Benelli.
