Benelli Montefeltro – Elegant Simplicity at an Intelligent Price

The Benelli Montefeltro is the world’s best-selling semi-automatic shotgun and for a very good reason. It offers the best balance of traditional elegance, field-proven reliability, and light-in-hand shooting performance that makes it perfectly suited to upland hunting, clay targets, and general field use.

With prices generally ranging between $999 and $1,299, the Montefeltro delivers premium performance at a more accessible price point than other high-end semi-autos. Its Inertia-Driven® operating system, beautifully crafted stock options, and proven durability make it an incredible value for hunters and shooting enthusiasts alike.

Prices may vary slightly by retailer, region, and demand. Regardless of the variant, the Montefeltro remains one of the best values in Benelli’s semi-auto lineup.

The heart of every Montefeltro is Benelli’s Inertia-Driven system, which uses recoil to cycle the action. This means fewer moving parts, less maintenance, and superb reliability even with heavy field use.

With weights of 6.5 to 7.1 lbs, the Montefeltro is intended for ground-hunting hunters. Light in weight with natural balance, it’s ideal for upland birds, ducks, and clay targets too.

The entry-level Montefeltro has a gloss-finished walnut stock and fore-end, topped by an anodized black aluminum receiver. Engraved receivers or silver-finished frames occur on more expensive models for a more refined look.

Choose from 24″, 26″, and 28″ barrel lengths, ventilated rib and red fiber-optic front sight. This offers you options appropriate for upland shooting at close distances or distant waterfowl hunting.

Barrel and choke tubes are Crio-treated to increase pattern density, reduce recoil, and increase barrel life, features reserved in more expensive shotguns.

The Montefeltro has earned a reputation as a sure shooting cycling, running smoothly and free-running rifle. Its slender forearm and flat receiver allow quick target pickup—ideal for closing on upland game birds.

Because it’s recoil-operated, the Montefeltro is cleaner than gas guns and functions reliably with a wide range of loads—light target loads to 3″ magnum waterfowl loads. And it’s easy to take apart and clean, even after long days in the field.
