Details

Experience a shotgun that feels and performs like a true Benelli from the moment you shoulder it to the moment your target drops. The 828U is a groundbreaking over/under shotgun, combining innovation and craftsmanship to earn its place under the Benelli badge. With the strength of steel and the lightweight advantage of aluminum, the 12-gauge 828U redefined upland hunting and is now available in a versatile 20-gauge option.

Key features include a patented steel locking system and plate that prevent shot pressure stress on the receiver and hinge pins, ensuring long-term durability. The compact, easily removable trigger group enhances safety, reliability, and simplifies cleaning. A unique opening lever delivers smoother, more consistent action, while every detail from butt to muzzle is designed to break away from conventional over/under shotguns. The Benelli 828U sets a new standard in upland hunting performance.



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.
BENELLI9S PATENTED STEEL LOCKING SYSTEM

Benelli9s patented steel locking system eliminates wear and tear on the receiver and hinge that cause traditional O/U9s to fail. The heart of Benelli9s 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.


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.
