For shooters seeking an over/under that blends modern engineering with a truly customizable fit, the right choice balances strength, reliability, and recoil management. This model resets expectations for handling, maintenance, and on-target performance in both field and clay work.

BENELLI 828U is the first O/U worthy of the Benelli badge, marrying steel strength with aluminum lightness and a host of purpose-built features that matter on the line. Shop this product

Design and Key Features

Benelli designed the BENELLI 828U around a patented steel locking system and plate that keeps shot pressure contained in the breech block rather than transferring stress to the receiver and hinge pins. That core design increases longevity and maintains consistent lock-up over thousands of rounds.

Progressive Comfort System

The Progressive Comfort system is built into the AA-grade satin walnut stock and provides steady recoil absorption across light and heavy loads—ideal for 12-gauge shooting where loads can vary dramatically between field rounds and competition shells.

Adjustability and Fit

Custom fit is a standout: five drop and four cast shims give 40 discrete stock positions so shooters can align eye, barrel, and target naturally. Proper fit directly translates into more broken targets and less shooter fatigue.

Action, Ejection, and Maintenance

The redesigned opening lever resets the trigger when the top lever is unlocked for smoother, more consistent operation. Impulse-activated ejectors live on the barrel and fire via pressure activation, eliminating linkage complexity. The compact, removable trigger group simplifies cleaning and boosts reliability under field conditions.

Technical specs to note: 12 Gauge, 28″ barrels, 3″ chamber, overall length 45.25″, weight 6.6 lbs, fiber optic front sight with red insert, included Crio choke set (C, IC, M, IM, F) and fitted hard case. Finish options include engraved nickel-plated or anodized, and the listed price is $2,599.00. View product details and pricing

Why the BENELLI 828U Stands Out

For shooters who demand modern ergonomics, secure steel lock-up, and a truly adjustable stock, the BENELLI 828U offers a tactical advantage in fit and function. Its 12-gauge versatility, streamlined ejector system, and user-focused maintenance make it a compelling option for serious upland hunters and competitive shooters alike. Check current availability
