Over/under shotguns occupy a special place for hunters and clay shooters who demand balance, crisp breaks, and durable construction. When a manufacturer known for innovation approaches the over/under market, expectations rise — and the field takes notice.

Benelli 828U is a shotgun that feels and shoots like a Benelli from the moment you pick it up to the moment you break it open. When innovation and inspiration collided the 828U was born – the first over/under worthy of the Benelli badge. With the strength of steel and the weight of aluminum, the 12-gauge 828U has redefined the category. Shop this product

Design and build quality

The 828U blends materials intentionally: steel in key stress areas for long-term strength, and aluminum where weight savings matter. That combination delivers a rigid action with reduced mass on the barrel assembly, producing quicker shouldering and a responsive swing. Benelli’s decision to engineer an over/under that carries the company’s handling signature sets the 828U apart in the Over Under category.

Ergonomics and balance

Expect a slim, game-ready stock geometry and a neutral center of gravity that helps align shots instinctively. The feel is consistently described as “Benelli” because the balance, recoil management, and trigger cadence match what shooters expect from the brand’s tactical and sporting lineups.

Performance on the range

The 12-gauge platform used in the 828U gives versatility for both upland and field work and competitive clays. The 12-gauge offers broad ammunition selection, effective pattern densities across loads, and proven terminal performance for hunting applications. Combined with the 828U’s action and barrel configuration, you get reliable patterns and consistent shot-to-shot recovery.

Mechanical details like robust locking surfaces and precisely fitted barrels contribute to repeatable shot breaks and tight regulation between barrels — essential for serious shooters who demand predictable performance. View product details and pricing
