Key features that matter in real-world use

The Montefeltro’s Inertia Driven System is a hallmark of the Benelli brand, offering a simple, gas-free action that reduces fouling and maintenance while reliably cycling mixed loads. For anyone moving long distances or spending long days on the range, the Ultra Light’s shortened—and optionally extended—magazine tube gives flexibility between a compact carry profile and full capacity when needed.

Barrel, rib, and handling

The 26″ 12-gauge barrel with carbon-fiber rib offers a steady sight plane and faster swing for clay, field, or defensive patterns. The 3″ chamber accepts a wide range of 12-ga. ammunition, from reduced-recoil target loads to heavier defensive shells, making the platform versatile across missions.

Stock and finish

Wood stock and blued finish keep the Montefeltro visually classic while the overall weight savings improve follow-up shot speed and carry comfort. At a retail price of $1692.99, it sits as a premium option for shooters who want traditional looks with modern performance.

For tactical-minded shooters and serious enthusiasts, the Benelli name carries weight—proven inertia action and a reputation for durability make this a credible tool for sport or defensive responsibilities. View product details and pricing
