828 U Sport A.I. Silver
For shooters who prefer a more traditional setup, the 828 U Sport A.I. Silver with standard stock offers a more essential configuration while remaining fully focused on technical and sporting performance. The Perfect Fitting system ensures an immediate mount and instinctive sight alignment, providing a natural connection with the target from the very first phases of the shot. This over-and-under shotgun retains the same solutions developed to deliver stability, effectiveness, and quality of control, starting with the oversized grip and extended fore-end, together with the action and stock featuring enlarged geometry, all of which promote a firmer grip and safer, smoother handling during shooting. The stock also incorporates a dedicated housing for commercially available balancing weights, allowing the firearm’s balance to be customized, while the removable trigger group contributes to an advanced and functional technical platform. Completing the technical package are the Advanced Impact barrels, paired with dedicated A.I. Sport chokes, engineered to deliver advanced ballistic performance and maximum effectiveness in Sporting and Compak Sporting disciplines. Defining its aesthetic character is the nickel-plated steel action, enhanced by refined hand brushing that highlights its quality and personality. The engraving, more restrained in its descriptive expression, enriches the profile of the over-and-under shotgun with references to Italian art and details inspired by the world of clay target shooting, creating a distinctive, coherent identity fully aligned with the model’s vocation.

Perfect Fit
Perfect Fit overcomes the traditional barriers of drop and deviation providing easily customised solutions. Fast shouldering and instinctive aiming are ensured by the countless options to fine-tune drop and deviation (40 combinations: 20 rh-20 lh) to your specific needs. Optimum performance and tailored comfort are within your reach.
Lock Plate
The patented locking system consists of a plate that perfectly seals the single-piece unit. The firing pressure remains contained in the plate/single-piece assembly, reducing the stress applied to the rotating pins. The 828 U's steel locking system is durable and guarantees the elimination of any mechanical stress on the receiver.
Benelli Advanced Impact
Benelli Advanced Impact (Benelli A.I.) is not a simple brand-new barrel, it is a real patented system consisting of two inseparable elements that work together: barrel and choke. At the end of a long research and development work, what can be defined as the best internal profile to date has been identified to redesign the barrel-choke assembly and achieve performances never experienced before.
Crio System
In cryogenic technology, the first element you need to consider is the barrel. The expansion caused by friction heat and pressure is limited, so that the barrel can vibrate and expand evenly on firing. The pattern provided by a cryogenic barrel is wider, more regular and more uniform, with pattern centres that will not shift as you fire shot after shot, to the benefit of shooting accuracy. Cryogenic treatment also has positive effects on the life of the barrel, which is more resistant to wear and less susceptible to attack by combustion residues. Benelli was the first company to apply Cryogenic Treatment to the barrel and choke of a light firearm on an industrial scale in order to enhance its ballistic performance.
