I’m assuming you don’t have the red dot already? Have you got any preference on what you get? 
 

If you drill and tap your receiver and add pic rail pretty much the world is your oyster. 
 

Other options:

Shield do universal shotgun rib mount which means you wouldn’t have to do any gunsmithing. Also their 65moa circle and 1moa centre dot is a nice touch for a shotgun.

Burris also do a shotgun mount for their fastfire.

Pretty certain Brownells do a Benelli fit picatinny rail for the M2....I had one on my M1  SBE .....thinking it was around £40

Not an M2 but with my Benelli Supernova I went with a Burris Speedbead and Fastfire III (3MOA)

No drilling and tapping required and has the Docter / Noblex footprint which is very commonly used by reflex red dot sight manufactures.

Might be a way to try it without drilling and tapping anything?

Thanks guys some really neat solutions there.

Any recomendations for a mid price (less than £250) red dot. Assume pic rail

You can often get an adapter that goes from the footprint of your red dot to weaver / Pic. Worth considering for flexibility. Does add a bit of height though
