The Benelli 828S Black A.I. is Benelli's new over-and-under shotgun equipped with A.I. technology. A.I. stands for Advanced Impact and refers to a completely redesigned barrel profile and new chokes. This combination of barrel and chokes achieves longer shooting distances, faster shot patterns, and deeper penetration. The barrel bore is between 19.6 and 19.8 mm. The standard delivery includes five 10 cm long A.I. interchangeable chokes.
In addition to A.I. technology, the gun has several other significant and impressive features. The rear stock features Benelli's patented Progressive Comfort recoil reduction system, which significantly reduces recoil, muzzle rise, and makes it easier to re-aim.
The Lock Plate locking mechanism, with its simple but ingenious design, ensures a strong, reliable lock, eliminating stress on the lock body. Benelli's O&U locking mechanism is particularly durable. The gun has impulse-activated ejectors, which means there is no mechanical connection between the trigger mechanism and the front sight.
The model features a stylish matte black anodized ergal receiver and stunning grade 3 oil-treated walnut stocks and a detachable trigger mechanism. The rifle is highly customizable to suit the individual measurements of each user. The rifle is delivered in a plastic rifle case. 10-year warranty upon registration (does not apply to wooden parts).
