Benelli 828U

Benelli’s patented Steel Locking System, eliminates wear and tear on the receiver and hinge that cause traditional O/U’s to fail. By incorporating this locking system into an aluminum receiver we have created a stronger, safer, lighter O/U that maintains perfect balance at under 6.5 pounds. By locking the solid steel breech block to the rear of the barrel, all shot pressure is contained in the barrels—preventing any stress to be transferred to the receiver and hinge pins. The compact and removable trigger group makes for easier cleaning and eliminates complicated linkage between forearm and trigger mechanism, significantly increasing reliability. The 828U triggers reset when the top lever is unlocked instead of by opening the barrels as traditional O/U’s creating a smoother, more consistent opening action. The ejector system in the 828U is all contained in the barrel. When the shell is fired pressure activates the ejector. This innovative design eliminates the need for linkages between trigger group and the forend—allowing for a stronger, more streamlined receiver. The Progressive Comfort System is completely contained within the 828U walnut stock (shown in cutaway above). The system’s unit is made from a flexible polymer that adds very little to the gun’s overall weight.
