Field and Sporting Performance

The BENELLI MONTEFELTRO is configured as a sporting platform with a 28″ barrel that favors tracking and pattern density for clay shooting and dove fields. The high-profile stepped vent rib and mid-bead work together to elevate the sight plane, promoting consistent eye alignment on fast-moving targets. A red-bar front Sight enhances quick target acquisition in changing light conditions, which is especially useful in competitive or upland scenarios.

Balance, Forend, and Day-Long Comfort

This model’s ergonomic, slim forend and exceptional balance deliver a neutral swing axis that minimizes fatigue during extended sessions. Shooters moving through repeated rotations will notice the Montefeltro Sporting’s intent: comfortable, all-day shooting without excess weight or awkward handling.

Handling and Recoil Management

One standout feature is the ported barrel, designed to mitigate recoil and muzzle rise. That reduction in felt recoil is directly tied to lightning-quick follow-up shots—critical when consecutive targets appear in rapid succession. Combined with the gun’s balance, the ported barrel supports smooth, clean swings and faster realignment on the next target.

At a price of $1431.99, the BENELLI MONTEFELTRO positions itself as an accessible entry point to Benelli’s lineup while retaining the brand’s reputation for durable semi-auto actions and refined handling.

For shooters seeking a reliable on-ramp into Benelli’s clay and field guns, this model combines sighting features, a slim forend, and recoil-reducing porting to support both learning and competition. Check current availability and complete your evaluation on the product page.
