The Benelli 828U, available now in Black or Silver with a price that will make U smile. When innovation and inspiration collided the 828U was born – the first over and under worthy of the Benelli badge.
Apart from its aesthetically blessed appearance, the 828U has a patented steel locking system and plate, an easily removable trigger group receiver, adjustable drop and cast, ergonomic opening lever, impulse activated ejection, it is extremely well balanced; it is everything you could ever want.
Now available in 30″ barrels – made specifically for the Australian market.
BENELLI’S PATENTED STEEL LOCKING SYSTEM
Benelli’s patented steel locking system eliminates wear and tear on the receiver and hinge that cause traditional O/U’s to fail. The heart of Benelli’s Steel Locking System is a solid steel breech block that locks directly to the monoblock, containing all pressure from the shotshell and preventing its transfer to the receiver and hinge pins.
OPENING LEVER AUTO RECOCKING
The 828 U triggers reset when the top lever is unlocked instead of by opening the barrels on a traditional over/under—creating a smoother, more consistent opening action. In addition, the ejector system in the 828 U is all contained in the barrel. This design allows for a stronger, more streamlined receiver by eliminating the need for linkages between the trigger group and the forend.
BENELLI’S PROGRESSIVE COMFORT SYSTEM
The Progressive Comfort System is contained within the 828 U walnut stock (shown in the cutaway images here). The flexible and lightweight polymer buffers compress to absorb recoil energy. The heavier the shot load, the more buffers come into play to help absorb and cushion the recoil.
