When durability and corrosion resistance are mission-critical, nothing substitutes for proven surface protection. Waterfowl and saltwater environments expose shotguns to moisture, grit, and abrasive wear; choosing a firearm with an advanced finish reduces maintenance and extends service life without sacrificing performance.
BENELLI ETHOS B.E.S.T. was developed after more than a decade of research to solve the number one issue for waterfowl shotguns — rust and corrosion. This semi-automatic platform pairs Benelli engineering with an industry-leading finish that uses diamond-like carbon particles in a multi-layered coating to resist corrosion and abrasions.

What BE.S.T. technology brings to the field
BE.S.T. (Benelli Surface Treatment) is a hybrid PVD and PECVD process applied in a controlled vacuum environment using electricity, radio frequencies, and plasma to deposit a uniform solid coating. The breakthrough is Benelli’s low-temperature application that preserves the Crio-treated barrel ballistics and the heat-treated strength of the barrel extension — critical for reliable semi-auto operation.
Technical benefits
Diamond-like carbon particles create a multi-layer barrier that resists saltwater corrosion, humidity, and surface abrasions common in marsh and coastal operations. For shooters who operate in harsh environments, that translates to reduced downtime, less frequent refinishing, and sustained reliability.

Priced at $1985.99, this model positions itself as a premium, mission-focused option for serious waterfowlers and field professionals. View product details and pricing
Field maintenance and tactical considerations
Routine cleaning remains important, but BE.S.T. reduces the need for aggressive corrosion control. Operators should still follow manufacturer maintenance intervals, use quality lubricants, and inspect for fouling after saltwater exposure. The preservation of barrel ballistics means users won’t trade performance for durability — a decisive advantage in the field.
For professionals and serious shooters who need corrosion resistance without sacrificing semi-auto performance, this Benelli model is engineered to deliver. Check current availability
