SDS Spandau S2 Mossy Oak Obsession 12GA 24″ Semi-Auto Shotgun

Description

The Spandau S2 in Mossy Oak Obsession is a 12-gauge semi-auto that punches well above its weight class. It runs an inertia operating system, which means fewer moving parts, less fouling to worry about, and a lighter overall package compared to gas-operated alternatives. At roughly 6.8 lbs with a 24-inch vent rib barrel, it's well-suited for carrying through the timber on a long turkey morning or mounting fast on greenheads working the decoys. The 3-inch chamber handles the full range of hunting loads without needing any adjustments, and the whole gun is wrapped in a hydro-dip Mossy Oak Obsession finish that disappears in spring turkey woods.

Spandau S2 Controls Built for Real-World Hunting

One of the things that actually sets the S2 apart from guns in this price range is how much attention went into the controls. The loading gate is enlarged and the lifter is shortened so you can thumb shells in quickly without pinching your finger, a small thing that matters a lot when you're wearing gloves in 35-degree weather. The bolt handle is oversized and easy to find by feel, the bolt release sits right up front in line with the forend, and a red-colored magazine follower lets you confirm at a glance whether you're empty. The textured synthetic stock and forend grip well when things get wet, and swivel studs are already installed so you can run a sling right out of the box.

Benelli M2 Compatibility and Aftermarket Flexibility

The S2 receiver is drilled and tapped for optic mounting, which is a big deal on a turkey gun where a red dot or low-power scope can make a real difference at distance. The choke tube system follows the Benelli/Mobil pattern, so any premium aftermarket turkey or waterfowl choke made for Benelli shotguns will thread right in. Beyond chokes, the S2 is built to accept most accessories and furniture designed for the Benelli M2, meaning if you decide down the road that you want an upgraded stock, a longer magazine tube, or different furniture, the platform supports it. The included stock drop and cast spacer kit lets you dial in fit without any gunsmithing, which is a thoughtful touch that most guns at this price skip entirely.

Spandau is a brand under SDS Imports, and the S2 is manufactured in Turkey with an on-the-ground engineer overseeing quality. Like most inertia guns, plan on running full-power hunting loads through it during a short break-in period before expecting flawless cycling with lighter target loads. After that, real-world testing by multiple reviewers found it to be a reliable and capable field gun that holds its own against far more expensive alternatives.
