For hunters and precision shooters who value balance, reliability, and low weight, the right semi-auto shotgun can transform long days in cover into consistent, repeatable performance. Field-proven operation and a slim, ergonomic profile are priorities when you need swift gun handling and dependable cycling in mixed load environments.

Benelli Montefeltro Silver Featherweight blends traditional handling with modern mechanics.

Design and operating system

The Montefeltro uses Benelli’s Inertia Driven(R) system, which is the defining feature for shooters who need a lightweight, low-maintenance semi-auto. Because the action relies on inertia rather than gas, the fore-end can remain slim and graceful while the anodized aluminum receiver keeps overall weight to a minimum. That slim fore-end contributes directly to faster pointing and natural follow-through in the field.

Weight, chambering, and real-world use

Featherweight performance

Superbly balanced, the Montefeltro 20-ga. tips the scales at only 5-1/2 pounds, making it an ideal choice for upland days where fatigue is a factor. The lightweight anodized receiver reduces carry burden without sacrificing structural integrity.

Load versatility

Chambered for 3″ magnum ammunition in both the 12- and 20-ga., the Montefeltro handles light field loads and full-power magnums with no user adjustments. That ability to switch from soft upland loads to heavy waterfowl patterns reliably is where the Inertia Driven(R) design shines — predictable cycling without fiddly gas systems.

At a price of $1810.99, this model represents a balance of premium components and field-ready performance. View product details and pricing to confirm current availability and configuration options.
