Design and key features

The Montefeltro carries Benelli pedigree in a streamlined package. The 25″ barrel favors consistent patterning and velocity for common 20ga payloads while remaining manageable in the shoulder. The wooden stock gives a traditional feel and durable contact points; for many users this improves cheek weld and pointability during rapid engagements. The advertised 5 round capacity suits defensive setups and complies with many storage considerations.

Field use and defensive applications

20ga advantages are central to this model: lower felt recoil compared with 12ga, easier follow-up shots, and sufficient energy with modern defensive 20ga loads at typical engagement ranges. The semi-auto action on the Montefeltro promotes fast follow-up shots in dynamic scenarios and reduces shooter fatigue during extended drills. For anyone seeking a defensive firearm that doubles for small-game or training, this configuration is practical and versatile.

Handling and maintenance

Regular cleaning of the action and periodic inspection of the wood-to-metal interfaces will keep the gun running smoothly. Since this example is listed in very good condition, inspect for wear on the bore and action rails, and confirm the magazine and barrel markings during purchase.

At $974.99 for a Benelli Montefeltro in very good condition with a 25″ barrel and 5-round capacity, this piece is a compelling option for shooters wanting trusted semi-auto performance in a 20ga package.
