Inertia-Driven System
The hallmark of
Benelli strength and reliability, our clean-burning Inertia Driven
System never requires adjusting, cycles consistently in conditions that
border on the unfair and easily handles everything from light field
loads to 3″ magnums. From a cleanliness and speed perspective, gas
systems simply cannot compete—whereas Inertia-Driven Benelli shotguns
are known to fire 500,000+ rounds and still function without flaw.
Cryogenic
physics has revealed steel changes at the molecular level when cooled
to -300° F. When a Benelli barrel is cryogenically treated, all the
stresses caused by hammer forging are relieved and the surface of the
bore becomes more even-grained. The result is a slicker surface offering
less resistance to wads and shot charges. With smoother, more uniform
surfaces, Benelli Crio®barrels deliver superior patterns and stay clean longer.
Versatility
without compromise: having a shotgun with a 3″ chamber does not mean
you always have to shoot the powerful stuff. The patented
locking mechanism is designed to work flawlessly with all shotgun
loads—from light clay loads to the ultimate goose-busters.
A
beveled loading port, redesigned carrier and a new two-piece carrier
latch have all been incorporated into the new Montefeltro to
make loading the magazine effortless.
During loading, only the
front section of the Easy Loading System’s two-piece carrier latch
actually moves, allowing shells to slide up easily with minimal tension
or possibility of jamming.
Grooves in the loading port help you
guide shells in without having to take your eyes off incoming birds. The
new, beveled loading port also features a wider design to help funnel
shells toward the magazine, a must for gloved hunters.
